The Carriage House Salon Returns: Jewish Folk Chorus of San Francisco

The Carriage House Salon Returns: Jewish Folk Chorus of San Francisco

Sunday, April 21st, 2024. 4:00-6:00pm

The Zingeray ensemble of the Jewish Folk Chorus of San Francisco, now in its 97th year, will perform an afternoon program of songs with selections in Yiddish, Ladino, Russian, and Hebrew. Singing and participation will be encouraged for everyone. The Chorus has been spreading Yiddish music and culture since the 1920’s and is delighted to entertain with songs reflecting the tapestry of Jewish life — joy, struggle, justice, and peace.

In existence since 1926, the Jewish Folk Chorus stays true to its roots in the labor movement by preserving and performing works from its library of Yiddish labor songs. Through its 97-year existence, the Chorus has sung many interesting and difficult Jewish musical works, without forgetting the simple folk music of their ancestors. They preserve a rich, diverse, and deeply satisfying musical heritage.

After the program a champagne reception will follow. Savories and sweets will also be served.
