Yitzhak Yedid - Niggunim: Music of the Jewish Soul

Step into a sound world that evokes memory, longing, and imagination.
Yitzhak Yedid’s solo piano performances draw listeners into an immersive world of textures, colours, and emotion. Deceptively simple, his music reaches deep, touching a place within each listener.
Rooted in his Jewish heritage, Yedid blends ancient and newly created niggunim, weaving haunting modal melodies through rich, sometimes surprising harmonic landscapes. Classical sensibilities, Judaeo-Sephardic sacred music, and Middle Eastern sounds intertwine, creating a dreamlike flow where one landscape seamlessly merges into the next.
Yedid’s cantorial voice and piano are integrated, forming a unified sound world that evokes memory, longing, and imagination. This concert invites audiences into a deeply moving experience, where tradition meets contemporary expression and music speaks as powerfully as language.
