Yiddish Meets Ladino w/ Sarah Aroeste & Anthony Russell

In a program originally commissioned for the Yidstock Festival, Ladino vocalist Sarah Aroeste and Yiddish vocalist Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell join forces to explore common themes and approaches in Ladino and Yiddish music. Accompanied by pianist/accordionist Dmitri Gaskin (of Tsvey Brider) and guitarist Rob Sanzone, Sarah and Anthony musically reconcile these long-lost cousins of Jewish music in an interactive and genre-bending performance. Since its launch in 2018, the program has been presented at venues ranging from the University of Wisconsin to Carnegie Hall.
