You may know him from his Yiddish rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", which has close to 1.9M views on YouTube. Yet, when Daniel Kahn became the inaugural recipient of the Theodore Bikel Artist-in-Residence by the Ashkenaz Foundation, Bikel said he felt that Kahn was carrying on his work.
You'll have two opportunities to engage with or hear Kahn. Join the live-streamed event through Zoom at 9am PT (Kahn will join us from Berlin, Germany), or watch the rebroadcast at 5pm PT on Facebook and YouTube the same day.
This Detroit-born, Berlin-based troubadour, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and translator Kahn combines Yiddish, English, German, and Russian in a radical mixture of Klezmer, lyrical folk ballads, dark cabaret, and political punk. With Kahn's band, the Painted Bird, he presents a variety of passionate songs inspired in part by the struggles of Jewish revolutionaries at the turn of the century, and in part by his own intense desire for a better world. Learn about Kahn's work as he engages with attendees and explores the inspirations behind his compositions.
This event is made possible by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music with additional support from Temple Israel (West Bloomfield, MI).
