Four Days of Concerts: Yidstock 2023

The Shmooze sits down with Seth Rogovoy to talk about what’s in store for the Yiddish Book Center’s 11th annual Yidstock: The Festival of New Yiddish Music (July 13–16). Once again curated by Yidstock artistic director Seth Rogovoy, this year’s festival will bring some audience favorites, including Merlin Shepherd, Nigunim Trio, and Lorin Sklamberg, along with rising stars making their Yidstock debuts, among them Forshpil, Midwood, and Sam Sadigursky—and that’s just some of what we learned about in conversation with Seth.
