| Concert | The Bashevis Singers are the children of generations of people who lived their lives in Yiddish. The sibling-cousin trio is comprised of Evie Gawenda, who is an award-winning theatre director and singer, and Husky Gawenda and Gideon Preiss, who are the core members of the critically acclaimed indie-folk band HUSKY. The Bashevis Singers’ four albums span centuries of Yiddish poetry and song and have brought to life classic 20th century folksongs, new compositions based on mystical poetry written by legendary Yiddish poets, and original songs written in collaboration with their father and uncle, renowned journalist and author Michael Gawenda.
