This is an exuberant and irreverent entanglement with Yiddish protest music, love songs, and anthems.
It’s queer, trans antifolk music that is informed by klezmer and Romanian dance.
It’s totally bilingual and an amazing gateway into a defiant tradition of survival and solidarity.
Raucous and intimate in turns, this music makes as much space for joy as it does for grief.
It's what I need right now and it might be what you need too.
Ira Khonen Temple is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and bandleader.

They have music directed productions including Indecent at the Weston Playhouse, Great Small Works’ Muntergang and Other Cheerful Downfalls, the Aftselakhis Spectacle Committee Purimshpil, and Zoe Beloff’s Days of the Commune.
