Sharon Brauner sings songs in Yiddish and by Jewish composers - Yiddish soul food. From tango to jazz - from then to now. She is accompanied by her pianist Harry Ermer.
The Berlin native has been working as a singer and actress since her childhood. As the child of two Holocaust survivors, she became interested in the fading Yiddish culture and the Yiddishkeit that goes with it at an early age. Above all with the music that can also be found in well-known non-Yiddish songs by Jewish composers. Music by those composers and lyricists who had long since assimilated into modernity and helped shape the culture of "their" country. Whether at home or in exile - traces of Jewish souls who were able to express their longing through their art and enrich the world with it can be found everywhere. The entire 20th century would be difficult to imagine without the influence of Jewish creatives. Sharon Brauner and her pianist Harry Ermer draw on the huge musical pool of the 20th century to create an evening from the Polish "Stetl" to Berlin and Vienna, from Moscow to Tel Aviv, from Miami to Hollywood and from Broadway to Buenos Aires.
For years, Sharon Brauner has been walking the paths of bygone eras and vanished worlds in search of the longings that are still present. In doing so, she has long since left her own footprints on the bridge of memories into the future.
Her music program is an exuberant homage to Yiddish popular music and at the same time a musical journey through the biography of the artist Sharon Brauner, who takes us all with her to discover a completely new, unique facet of Jewish culture.
She presents never-heard-before songs, Jewish evergreens and her own chansons with humor and unbridled joie de vivre. Her velvety clear voice and charisma touch the listener and leave an inspired audience.
