Wednesday, January 18, 7:00 p.m. ♦ Metropolitan Room ♦ 34 West 22nd Street

Soul to Soul is an innovative concert that explores the intersections between African-American and Yiddish folk music traditions.

Headlining the concert are Magda Fishman, Cantor at Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles; Elmore James, a veteran of five Broadway and numerous international opera productions; and singer, songwriter and recording artist, Tony Perry, who originated a role in the Folksbiene’s premiere production of Murray Schisgal’s “Shpiel Shpiel Shpiel!”
