She researches and performs various strands of Jewish folk repertoire and is interested in Yiddish folk music as a reflection of human experience, particularly the movement and migration of Ashkenazi Jews. Within the UK she has  co-ordinated and taught Yiddish song and Niggunim workshop programmes for the Jewish Music Institute, SOAS, Kleznorth, and WOMAD festival, and the London Yiddish choir. In North America, she has sung at the JCC Manhattan, the Montreal jewish music festival, Klezkanada, and the Ashkenaz festival, Toronto.

A 3rd year cantorial student at HUC-JIR NYC, his love for Judaism has likewise been cultivated through practicing it and through learning its musical rhythms. Gabriel is thrilled to be involved with MoveMeant combining many of these loves into one place.
