Lost and Found Music

The Eldridge Street Synagogue was designed to highlight the voices of preeminent religious singers, or cantors. Lost and Found Music honors that legacy with concerts of Jewish music beloved by the Synagogue's turn-of-the-century parishioners, as well as other Yiddish musical forms that are at risk of disappearing. An annual festival highlights one musical instrument common to many, such as the accordion, fiddle or dulcimer, to build bridges across cultures.
