Brivele is a Seattle-based ensemble who braid together Yiddish song, anti-fascist and labor balladry, folk-punk, and contemporary rabble-rousing in stirring vocal harmony.

Doors open at 6:30 pm and the show starts at 7 pm

In Yiddish, Brivele (בריוועלע) means "little letter." Like letters, songs travel — through time and over borders. They pick up dirt, aromas, fingerprints. They are sent to lovers, they foment revolution, they get stolen and censored, burned and salvaged, sewn into our clothes.

We journey into the archives of Yiddish anti-fascist musical tradition, bringing together anti-authoritarian satire, mournful remembrances, and the disguised political commentary in folk ditties and theater classics. These songs are a correspondence: our ancestors' voices speak clearly and uncompromisingly, sometimes sweetly, to our present moment.

Brivele is excited to joined by local, very talened musicians known by many, Annie and Zoe Aqua!

Zoë and Annie Aqua are sisters born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Both started classical violin lessons at age 4 and continued studying classical music through college, eventually becoming experienced in folk genres. In their duo, they are inspired by old archival klezmer recordings, Yiddish songs, Transylvanian string band repertoire, and more. Annie can most often be seen playing with MishMish (Balkan, Klezmer and Arabic), Hal Aqua and the Lost Tribe (klezmer fusion), and sometimes with pop-classical quartet Spinphony. Zoë’s next album, In a Sea of Stars, is a collection of live recordings from her Transylvanian Synagogue Tour, which will be available on June 27 from Adhyâropa Records.
