The Freylekh Trio—comprised of soprano Kimberly Gelbwasser Lazzeri, violinist William Herzog, and pianist Christina Lalog Seal—brings together three artist-scholars from Northern Kentucky University’s School of the Arts who share a passion for storytelling through song. Their debut recording, Freylekh: A “joyful” rediscovery of De Cormier’s Yiddish Folksongs, reimagines timeless melodies with vibrant musicianship and heartfelt connection. Drawing on their combined expertise in voice, strings, and keyboard, the ensemble creates performances that blend artistry, scholarship, and cultural rediscovery. With a commitment to sharing the expressive depth of Jewish folk tradition, the Freylekh Trio invites audiences into a musical world where joy, resilience, and community resonate through every note.
