Glorious Kasha: Songs About Yiddish Delights
Genre : Music - Folk/blues/world
This open to absolutely everyone workshop will be uplifting and fun, as well as educational and focused? on food. The word Kasha, like the dish itself, exists in several Slavic cultures, including Belarusian, Czech, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak and Ukrainian. Yiddish songs too are cross-cultural by nature. We may be singing a bit in Ukrainian, Russian and Polish, because these songs are part of Yiddish song canon. We will explore what food means to us, how much symbolism and emotion is stuffed into it, how much history is poured over is and how many cultures spice it up. Come sing about Ukrainian borsh, Romanian mamalyga, Polish latkes, Russian blintzes and of course wine or something stronger in song. Come share your recipes, if you know these foods and songs.
Polina Shepherd has no idea how to make Shepherd?s pie but, coming from Siberia and with origins in Kiev and Odesa, she has been cooking Yiddish and klezmer all over the globe for over 30 years.
No knowledge of Yiddish or singing experience is needed but make sure to have a big lunch before you come to sing!

The Rose Hill stands as a testament to community resolve in Brighton, an independent, artist-led venue and creative hub that was actively preserved by local efforts from becoming luxury flats. Operating as a not-for-profit organisation, it serves as a vital cultural asset, nurturing adventurous music, performance, and artistic development for both local and national talent.
Within its walls, a considered atmosphere prevails, where the hum of conversation blends with the anticipation of performance. The lighting is often subdued, casting a warm glow over the intimate space, inviting a focused engagement with the art presented. The robust sound system, a point of pride for its musician-owners, ensures every note and spoken word resonates with clarity.
Practicalities are handled with equal care; the bar offers a thoughtful selection of interesting guest beers and premium spirits at accessible prices. The venue is actively working to enhance its accessibility for all visitors, and in its basement lies a multi-room studio complex, complete with on-site accommodation for visiting artists.
Throughout the year, The Rose Hill hosts a diverse programme, encompassing live music across various genres, experimental film screenings, engaging workshops, and performance art. It is a space where new works are developed and shared, fostering a dynamic environment for creative expression and audience discovery.
