City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/Yj4XHQ The Ashkenaz Foundation is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to fostering an increased awareness of Yiddish and Jewish culture through the arts. Through its biennial festival and expanding slate of year-round programming, Ashkenaz showcases the work of leading contemporary artists from Canada and around the world working in music, film, theatre, dance, literature, craft, and visual arts. Ashkenaz places an equal emphasis on the need for preservation and innovation within this cultural milieu. The Foundation incorporates in its programming many other manifestations of pan-Jewish music and art beyond Klezmer/Yiddish, including a commitment to the art and culture of Sephardic, Ladino, and Mizrahi Jews.
