The language of Eastern European Jews, Yiddish made its way to Canada with successive waves of immigration in the 20th century. Between deep roots and contemporary creations, it resonates here in original songs inspired by exile, memory, loss, but also hope, love, humor, and tenderness.

The concert Tur Malka (The King’s Mountain) – New Yiddish Songs from Canada explores this original vocal repertoire in a refined acoustic format, performed by a quartet (piano, violin, cello, double bass).

An intimate and vibrant concert, with simple and powerful melodies, where the past meets the present in a language that sings delightfully to our ears.

Artists :
Viola: Elvira Misbakhova
Double bass, arrangements: Mael Oudin
Cello: Sheila Hannigan
Piano, guitar, accordion, vocals, compositions, arrangements: Henri Oppenheim

By plucking the multiple strings of her kanun, Turkey’s large zither, Didem Başar opens the doors to a world of crystal-clear sound. Heir to a centuries-old tradition, she makes her 78 strings sing with a finesse and emotion that transcend time.
Her repertoire, drawn from the sources of Turkish music, unfolds melodies with subtle inflections, where each note seems to carry the scent of Istanbul and the memory of its shores, like a moonlit reflection on the waters of the Bosphorus.

Between virtuosity and delicacy, her interpretations weave a living link between past and present, inviting the listener on a journey where ancient resonances dialogue with today’s sensibilities.

Georgian polyphony is one of the oldest and most complex of singing traditions. Family singing plays an essential role, having enabled it to survive through centuries of invasions and occupations.
For Ori Shlava (Shalva Makharashvili, Andrea Kuzmich and their sons Shalva-Lucas and Gabo), singing is as natural as breathing, rooted in family celebrations rather than stage performances.

The authenticity of their music stems from years of dedication and a musical heritage handed down from generation to generation.
