“Alberstein easily cuts across linguistic and cultural barriers. In terms of style and delivery, she should garner comparisons to such artists as Leonard Cohen, Warren Zevon or Elvis Costello.” —Billboard Magazine

One of Israel’s most popular and enduring singers, Chava Alberstein is a gifted storyteller with a husky, soulful voice reminiscent of Edith Piaf. Over the past 30 years, she has recorded more than 50 albums, many that have gone gold, platinum, or even triple platinum. From tender love songs to defiant laments, her music speaks volumes about relationships both political and human. For her Seattle engagement she will perform a mix of old favorites and new compositions sung in Hebrew, Yiddish, and English.
