Join us for an evening with Brooklyn-based accordionist and Yiddishist Ira Khonen Temple. Ira’s new album, Strange Tongue / Mistame-Loshn, is an exuberant and irreverent entanglement with Yiddish protest music, love songs, and anthems. It’s queer, trans antifolk music that is informed by klezmer and Romanian dance. It’s totally bilingual and an amazing gateway into a defiant tradition of survival and solidarity. Raucous and intimate in turns, this music makes as much space for joy as it does for grief.
More details coming soon!
