String Quartet No. 2 op. 26

Approved

The Jerusalem Quartet has initiated a project which is an exploration of the rich world of Jewish popular music in Poland between the two world wars, and the substantial influence this music had in Europe, and subsequently in the US after the war. Jewish humour and self-irony is ever present in the songs that made up Jewish cabarets such as 'Azazel' in Warsaw in the early 20th Century. Collaborating with the singer Hila Baggio, the repertoire will span the space between traditional songs, through the rich cabaret culture of the time, to classical quartet compositions of Jewish composers of the period.
