On April 17th, 2023, to mark Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), The New Classical FM presented
Silent Tears: The Last Yiddish Tango, a concert featuring the
Payadora Tango Ensemble with haunting vocals by Juno Award-winning
Lenka Lichtenberg and
Aviva Chernick.
From inspiring songs about survival to mournful laments, this award-winning program showcases songs inspired by the poetry of Canadian women Holocaust survivors and conveys an almost indescribable depth of emotion rarely sung about.
