Choir 2007

Tuesdays, 7:30–9:45 pm

The largest, best, and ONLY Yiddish choir west of Winnipeg, the Vancouver Jewish Folk Choir performs the music of the Jewish people in Yiddish, Hebrew, Ladino and English.

The Choir performs for holiday celebrations and special events at the Peretz Centre and in the Jewish and mainstream communities.

Major works performed in recent years have included Yomervokhets (Jabberwocky), In Amerike, Benyomin der Driter, Ikh Bin a Yid, Oyb Nit Nokh Hekher, and excerpts from Di Yam Gazlonim (Pirates of Penzance, translated into Yiddish by Al Grand).

The Choir welcomes all new members. What better way to spend a Tuesday evening?
