Shtoltse Lider
The Swedish duo Shtoltse lider invites their audience to a devoted and heartfelt concert of Yiddish poetry set to their original music. Featuring women writers from a hundred years ago, a time when the Yiddish culture flourished, Shtoltse lider enlightens norm-breaking and almost forgotten poets with their captivating music, passionate approach and engaged storytelling. Words and music are carefully woven together and the musical palette draws from klezmer, cinematic chamber music, folk tones and 1920 ́s cabaret. Ida Gillner’s vivid piano playing and ethereal voice intermingled with Livet Nord’s passionate yet delicate touch on the violin creates a musical world of integrity, power, playfulness, and soulfulness.
