Cafe K Presents Hy Wolfe
in
"Yiddish Songs
for the Soul"
Hy Wolfe, accompanied
by Herbert Kaplan on the piano, returns to the JCC to perform
rarely-heard Yiddish classic songs, popular Yiddish tunes, and
stones and monologues out of the classic Yiddish theatre repertoire.
Mr. Wolfe is an actor, singer and director whose roots are firmly
planted in the world of Yiddish. Having been born in America to
Holocaust survivors, Mr. Wolfe's first language is Yiddish. He
performs effortlessly in both English and Yiddish. His 25-year
performing career has taken him from California to New York to
Europe, where he has acted and sung on stage, screen, television
and in concerts, and has performed in commercials, voiceovers
and video films. He has appeared on daytime and prime time TV
programs in the U.S., and has performed at New York's Folksbiene
Yiddish Theatre including the title role in "Yankl der Shmid”
("Yankl the Blacksmith"). He is currently artistic director of
the Yiddish National Theatre, and executive director of CYCO (Central
Yiddish Culture Organization), which publishes and sells Yiddish
literature. Herbert Kaplan is a pianist, composer, arranger and
musical director. In 1996, Mr. Kaplan ventured into the world
of Yiddish theater and Yiddish music as arranger and musical director
on "The Maiden of Ludmir" for the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater.
There he met Hy Wolfe and together they have appeared countless
times on the concert stage, often with Shifra Lerer and Mina Bem,
two great divas of the Yiddish theater. Mr. Kaplan's other credits
include more than four decades of music-making in theaters and
opera houses, and on concert stages in New York and throughout
the United States. Three of his original musicals and a children's
opera have been produced.
Tickets for this special evening are $10 for JCC, Yiddish of Greater
Washington, and Workmen's Circle members, and $15 for the general
public. For tickets, call the JCC box office at 301-348-3872.
