Heather Lauren Klein appears in...
Heather Lauren Klein has charmed audiences throughout the United States, Canada and Europe with her beguiling stage presence and versatile soprano voice. In performance and on record, Heather celebrates the music brought to New York’s Lower East Side by immigrants as well as the innovative work written in the United States at that time for theater and concert halls including art songs, folk, and opera.
Heather received her Masters degree from the San Francisco Conservatory and has vaulted onto the local Yiddish song scene. Most recently, Heather had her debut with National Yiddish Folksbine alongside City Opera’s Robert Abelson and Claire Barry of the Barry Sisters. Last winter saw Heather in the role of Rivka Shmuel in the national tour of Meshuga Nutcracker with the National Jewish Theater Festival and this past summer she enchanted French audiences in the final cabaret performance for Medem’s Yiddish Festival in Paris.
Heather will also appear in two related events at Temple Beth Sholom in San Leandro on March 14th and the San Francisco Public Library on March 12th at 6:00 pm.
