Lider-shmideray / Songsmiths Workshop
Sunday December 22, 2024 9:30am - 10:45am EST
501 - Hebrew Union College
The hands-on workshop for Yiddish song-writing welcomes songsmiths, newcomers and old hands, to take an inside look together at how new Yiddish songs are being created today. Bring your song-in-progress or your interest in songwriting to YNY’s Lider-shmideray/Songsmiths Workshop, led by veteran Yiddish songwriters Josh Waletzky and Daniel Kahn, joined by Adah Hetko. Get inspired by songwriting-in-action. We will all share our expertise and experience in exploring the how-to’s and the for-whom's of song-writing in the 2020s. We'll examine sources and resources for texts and music and discuss various modes of collaboration. If you are bringing a song-in-progress, please send us a recording and/or lead sheet by December 15. Please include your name and the title of the song as part of the file name. You can also reach us at lidershmideray@gmail.com. Participate in the room and on Zoom!
