Live at ZoomerHall: Payadora Tango Ensemble – Silent Tears: The Last Yiddish Tango

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.
