Video fragments from @Bajla Ernst Films on Klezmer in Paris, la Maison de la culture Yiddish (Paris).

The Polina Shepherd Vocal Experience covers many aspects of vocal music from solo voice to large scale choral improvisation or highly arranged and conducted choir pieces and smaller chamber groups. As part of this Polina leads several choirs locally and also teaches choral workshops internationally.

Her specially developed choral teaching methods are based on ornamentation and modal experimentation with attention to spiritual and emotional sides of musical creativity and also history and context of choral material.

For Jewish music based choral workshops, she teaches Hassidic Nigunim -- the age old songs without words (originally, the term refers to religious songs and tunes that are sung by groups) and Yiddish and Hebrew songs.
