A one-woman musical memoir written and performed by Deborah Karpel. The classically-trained singer/ storyteller unearths hilarious and haunting stories from the fringes of her family’s fractured history and weaves them together to reveal a unique and cohesive identity. An acclaimed singer of opera, Yiddish songs and the American songbook, Karpel gloriously interprets over a dozen songs to illustrate her deeply personal journey. Songs My Mother Never Taught Me spans most of 20th century America, yet brings fresh life and a contemporary touch to the cultural richness that is the American experience.
