Imported by the American wave, Yiddish song first appeared in France in the 1920s and soon permeated theaters, choirs and recitals.
The first morning of this symposium will be devoted to song in Yiddish theater, the revival of Yiddish song since the 1970s, followed by an evocation of the great Parisian Yiddish choirs and their emulators, and finally a presentation of the rising generation of Yiddish song performing throughout France and Navarre.

– The revival of Yiddish song since the 1970s, with Laurent Grynszpan, Michèle Tauber and Talila
– Yiddish choirs in France, with Jean Golgevit and Jacinta
– Yiddish Song in France in the 21st Century: the Rising Generation, with Judith Marx and Elsa Signorile
