From Jewish Folk Poetry 

(March 2018, Amsterdam) 

From Jewish Folk Poetry gives voice to resilience through the luminous, unflinching settings of Dmitri Shostakovich. Rooted in the Russian Jewish experience, these songs speak of hardship — and the strength that endures.

The music does not resolve pain; it carries it, honors it, sings through it. Each piece becomes a gesture of dignity, even in silence. In this installation, a people’s history becomes shared breath — where hardship and hope, memory and motion, live together in one continuous moment.

With Matthew Lynch (artistic director), Adva Tas (soprano), Oda Zoe Hochscheid (mezzo-soprano), Richard Prada (tenor), Mirsa Adami (piano).
