A Price Beyond Pearls - Songs By and About Women

Come join the Jewish Folk Chorus of San Francisco, now in its 99th year, for a concert dedicated to lyrics and music composed by and about women. From the 1800’s to today, both famous and lesser known artists such as Emma Lazarus, Ilse Weber, Hannah Senesh, Molly Picon, Flory Jagoda, Ruth Rubin, and Janis Ian have added to our repertoire in Yiddish, Hebrew, Ladino, English, and German.

Under the direction of Elisabeth Sargent with piano accompaniment by Inara Morgenstern, and woven together with historical portraits and multimedia, the chorus will explore a musical view of women’s many roles in our Jewish heritage.

Tickets are also available at the door. If you have questions, please email aW5mbyB8IGpld2lzaGZvbGtjaG9ydXNzZiAhIG9yZw== .

The Jewish Folk Chorus has been in existence since 1926. Our vast repertoire of Jewish music includes songs in Yiddish, Hebrew, Ladino and Russian. We also stay true to our roots in the labor movement by preserving and performing works from our library of Yiddish labor songs. Through its 99-year existence, the Chorus has sung many interesting and difficult Jewish musical works, without forgetting the simple folk music of our ancestors. We preserve a rich, diverse and deeply satisfying musical heritage.
