Jewish Cabaret in Exile

by New Budapest Orpheum Society

Overview

The second full-length outing by the Chicago-based New Budapest Orpheum Society, 2009's JEWISH CABARET IN EXILE, makes a fine companion piece to its lauded predecessor, DANCING ON THE EDGE OF A VOLCANO. Presenting revered songs by Jewish and Yiddish composers, CABARET naturally revels a lively atmosphere, one that draws on the history of the vibrant Austrian city of Vienna.
