Isidoro Abramowicz (tenor)

Ivanna Nelson (piano)

On the occasion of the European Day of Jewish Culture 2026 and this year’s theme, “Love,” Dance Me Back to the Future presents its new chapter:
EREV SHEL SHOSHANIM. A Musical Dialogue for Two Voices

Erev Shel Shoshanim (“Evening of Roses” ) is one of the best-known Hebrew love songs and sets the tone for a program bringing Hebrew art song into dialogue with Lied, opera and operetta. From the Song of Songs and the poetry of Leah Goldberg and Rachel Bluwstein to works by Marc Lavry, Noam Sheriff, Sasha Argov, Fanny Hensel, Amy Beach, Franz Lehár and Charles Gounod, the evening follows love through different languages and musical traditions.

Sivan Goldman, international opera and concert soprano, and Isidoro Abramowicz, Cantor and Music Director of Berlin’s Pestalozzistraße Synagogue and Head of the Cantorial Program at Abraham Geiger College, are accompanied by pianist Ivanna Nelson.

Dance Me Back to the Future is a concert and cultural series following the musical memory of Litvak culture through time, rediscovering its stories through new voices and carrying what once was into what is yet to come.

“The title Dance Me Back to the Future brings together Leonard Cohen’s Dance Me to the End of Love and Robert Zemeckis’s Back to the Future. Together, they open a journey between past and present, following Lithuanian and Litvak stories, memories and cultural connections that continue to travel through generations and find new voices today. Erev Shel Shoshanim is the next chapter in this journey.” – Katya Kov, curator of the series

This concert is produced by Pasaka Agency x Create Culture Group in collaboration with Cvi Parkas and is supported by the GoodWill Foundation and Vilnius City Municipality.
