Yiddish music, like the history of Jewish culture itself, preserves many layers of memory — from the everyday life of the city to the voices of those who have passed, from gentle humor to themes of existential longing.

In this concert, tenor Rafailas Karpis and pianist Darius Mažintas present a program devoted to the classical and urban song traditions in the Yiddish language, combining poetic melodies, warm storytelling, and historical cultural context. The performed pieces are characterized by an intimate singing style, text-driven emotional expression, and a connection to the musical traditions of Jewish communities in Central and Eastern Europe.

The program highlights both the lyrical, intimate line of Yiddish song and its urban, theatrical, cabaret-like stylistic elements. Letters from the Past is a concert in which musical narratives become testimonies of cultural memory, and their performance in a contemporary concert setting allows this important part of musical heritage to be heard and appreciated anew.
