The revival of the Yiddish song is the central concern of the Vienna Jewish Choir. The Choir creates bridges between different cultures with music and brings back to life the songs that have been passed on through generations, songs that almost vanished with the European Judaism.

In addition to the revival of the Jewish song repertoire, the Vienna Jewish Choir contributes to intercultural understanding. It is a mixed choir, concerning the countries of origin of its members: Besides native Austrians, members come from the Ukraine, Moldova, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and even Japan. The repertoire focuses on Yiddish songs. These include traditional melodies, the hits of Yiddish theater and film, as well as resistance songs. Liturgical songs and selected Hebrew and Ladino songs are also an integral part of the program.

The traditional songs are newly arranged by the choirmaster Roman Grinberg and thus “transposed” into the 21st century.
