Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ______________________________ From: Hy Wolfe <[email protected]> Date: May 6, 2019 Hy Wolfe, In performance of Yiddish songs and stories Steve Sterner at the piano Thursday, May 16, 2019 6:00 PM Jewish Heritage Month - Queens Public Library Forest Hills Library 108-19 71st Ave Flushing, NY 11375 (718) 268-7934 Free and open to the public; no tickets required Hy Wolfe has been singing Yiddish songs since he was 5 years old, and his work includes acting and singing performances that have been featured in publications such as the New York Times, The Post and the Daily News. As President of the Hebrew Actor’s Foundation, the oldest acting union in America, Hy works tirelessly to pursue the dream of a "kleyn-kunst" (small art) Yiddish Theatre and museum located in the storied Hebrew Actors Union Building in NYC. This theater and museum will highlight the immigrant experience of Yiddish speakers who first came to America and the lives they lived. It will also highlight the role Yiddish theater had in the foundation and growth of Hollywood and Yiddish Theater’s influence on 20th century theater and music. Hy will sing a collection of unique songs, like “I’m a Litvak and She’s a Galitz,” and a repertoire of vintage, rarely-performed Yiddish songs that deserve a chance to shine once again. Hy translates everything into English, so, you will follow every moment of the performance. The 60 minutes flies by and you are transported through time and space, experiencing an authentic Yiddish performance that pays tribute to our musical heritage. Hy will once again be accompanied at the piano by Steve Sterner.
