Joanne Borts is a veteran Broadway performer with deep Yiddish roots whose career has been the love child of theatricality, folk music, comedy, barbershop quartets, and social action. Her debut solo album, Lush & Hora, embraces a spectrum of contradictions told through a Yiddish lens of irreverent admiration, mischievous rebellion and maybe a little gossip. Under the direction of maestros Lorin Sklamberg and Michael Winograd, this concert will include the artistry of Richie Barshay, Yoshie Fruchter, Sarah Gordon, Zoe Guigueno, Lisa Gutkin, Frank London, and Rob Schwimmer.
YIDSTOCK 2025 is sponsored by WAMC Northeast Public Radio and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
