‘Give me a song I can feel' is the maxim of the versatile singer Lucette van den Berg

Lucette van den Berg is one of the leading voices in the vanguard of a new generation of Yiddish singers. She performed at theatres, in concert halls and at festivals throughout Europe and North America.

After her debut in the Yiddish world in 2005 and the release of new compositions of Beyle Schaechte -Gottesman in 2007, Lucette started with composing new work. First with Alan Bern and later with Mikhoel Felsenbaum and today she composes on her own.

Shtil di nakht iz oysgeshternt is a famous partisan song, with lyrics by Hirsh Glik to a famous Russian folk tune.
Lucette van den Berg turned this song into a choirpiece for a 4-part female choir and tuned glass. This is the second female choir piece in a cycle about courage and perseverance of a woman.
By using an 'orchestra' of glass as a 5th voice, which is played by the singers while singing, Lucette creates a magical atmosphere.
It shows the strength and at the same time the fragility of the young girl Vitka Kempner, a Jewish partisan who succeeded in ambushing a Nazi convoy. She symbolizes all women who in their own way stand powerfully for their beliefs.
