Soul to Soul | African-American and Yiddish American experiences in music

Soul to Soul, a musical production of the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbeine (NYTF), was recently on tour at the Reston Community Center. The program featured powerful music expressions from the Black and Jewish experiences, with Yiddish/klezmer melodies together with music from the civil rights era and the Black church. 

The musicians were Zalman Mlotek (זלמן נתן מלאָטעק) - keyboards and musical director,  Lisa Fishman - vocals, Brian Glassman - bass, Elmore James - vocals, Tony Perry - vocals, Daniella Rabbani - vocals, Matt Temkin -  percussion, and Dr. Zisl Slepovitch- clarinet, saxophone

Thank you to Reston Community Center's director, Paul Michnewicz, and his able staff for permission to photograph the concert, and for facilitating the process.
