Special screening of Haya Newman’s documentary, “Claire Klein Osipov: A Life Sung Yiddishly” PLUS new exclusive archival footage of Claire singing on CBC TV. A documentary about the life of Canadian Soprano Claire Klein Osipov, whose career spans over six decades from Toronto to Vancouver. An intimate autobiographical portrait detailing her young life in Depression-era Toronto and how she discovered music, Yiddish music, as a means to escape the immediacies of economic and social hardship of everyday life. Her story tells how she parlayed her interest and joy in singing Yiddish folksongs into a career, performing regularly on CBC TV and Radio as well as on various recording labels.

Sponsor: Thank you to Robert Albanese, Haya Newman and the Osipov Family
