Shir Madness Jewish Music Festival Focus: Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier

Answered by: Deborah Conway

Have you been to the previous Shir Madness Jewish Musical Festivals? How was the experience? Or if you haven't gone, what are you expecting? We have performed at all Shir Madness Festivals. 

The Song Of Songs get artists to perform a song by their favourite Jewish composer. Which Jewish composer has most affected you? Too many to list.

As the only large scale Jewish Music Festival in Australasia, what is Shir Madness' effect on the community? I don't know that it has an effect as such but it is a wonderful celebration of community and excellence in music presentation.

Does being a Jewish Music Festival make Shir Madness particularly different to other music festivals? It gives a very solid cultural framework to hang everything within it from.

Does anything Jewish particularly influence your music? Yes.

When is your set at Shir Madness? 4.10pm - 5.10pm
