“Alberstein's quivering tenor is sublimely expressive, full of pathos when caressing a ballad, frisky when riding the crest of a traditional dance tune.” —Entertainment Weekly
Singer/songwriter Chava Alberstein elicits laughter and tears from audiences with her extensive repertoire of Yiddish, Hebrew, and English folk tunes. A national treasure in her native Israel, she has a voice described by Hadassah Magazine as “so warm and mellow it wraps itself around you like a big hug.” In a joyous return to Lively Arts, Alberstein is joined by the infectious Gypsy band Les Yeux Noirs for an uplifting evening of music that celebrates the universal experiences of joy, loss, and hope.
