Niggunim: Music of the Jewish Soul
“I never repeat a concert.
Each performance is a moment where I share my soul, here and now, with my listeners.
I invite you to join me on an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime journey, where Jewish sacred song and my original compositions merge into music that speaks as deeply as language itself.”
ABOUT THE CONCERT
Yitzhak Yedid’s solo piano performances draw listeners into a cinematic world filled with textures, colours, and emotion. Deceptively simple, his music reaches deep, touching a place within each listener.
Rooted in his Jewish Sephardic heritage, Yedid blends ancient and newly created niggunim with original compositions, weaving haunting modal melodies through rich, sometimes surprising harmonic landscapes. Classical sensibilities, Judaeo-Sephardic sacred music, and Middle Eastern sounds are juxtaposed, creating a dreamlike sense of shifting emotional universes.
