Waynesboro, VA – The Historic Wayne Theatre proudly presents Soul to Soul, a deeply moving concert celebrating the music and shared experiences of the African American and Jewish communities, live on February 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM.
Soul to Soul combines spirituals, jazz, klezmer, and folk music in a captivating theatrical performance that highlights the parallels between the two communities’ journeys and their shared struggle for equality and hope for a better world. This powerful show has been performed to sold-out audiences across the United States and internationally, captivating crowds with its heartfelt message and extraordinary performances.
The concert features an all-star cast, including Lisa Fishman, Cantor Magda Fishman, Elmore James, Tony Perry, and Zalmen Mlotek, alongside talented musicians Brian Glassman (bass), D. Zisl Slepovitch (clarinet and saxophone), and Matt Temkin (percussion). Conceived in 2010 by Zalmen Mlotek, the show has evolved with updated multimedia imagery and video curated by Motl Didner, reflecting the ongoing need for unity and healing in today’s world.
Audiences will experience a mix of civil rights songs, Yiddish folk music (with English subtitles), and theatre pieces that evoke the profound and inspiring connections between these two rich cultures.
“We are honored to bring Soul to Soul to the Wayne Theatre stage,” said Tracy Straight, Executive Director of the Wayne Theatre. “This concert is more than music—it’s a celebration of history, resilience, and the unifying power of art.”
