Below
are a sampling of comments from some of Tanja's live performances:
"Bravo and thanks for the wonderful performance you gave at
our recent Brandeis-Bardin Klezmer Festival. You were a great hit, and one of
the most important ingredients in the evening's success. Your mastery of
Yiddish, Ladino and Hebrew songs is more than impressive. It is most
entertaining! And your ability to relate to an audience is most impressive. You
had every one of the eight hundred people in attendance in the palm of your
hand. Thank you for your artistry and professionalism. Your unique talent is a
gift to the entire Jewish People." -- Dr. Alvin Mars,
Executive Vice President, Brandeis-Bardin Institute, CA
"Everyone is still talking about your performance at our synagogue. I can't recall
the last time we received such raves after one of our programs. The afternoon was enjoyed
by everyone. People were singing along with you, or at least keeping time to to the
rhythm. I knew that the older people would love your Yiddish songs, but I was frankly
surprised at now much the younger people enjoyed them as well. You are a fabulous singer.
What makes your program so special is your dynamic personality up there, the way you tell
such interesting stories, and the fact that you are obviously having a good time yourself.
All this, plus the fact that you look great. No one would believe that someone who looks
like you would be singing Yiddish songs. We look forward to the next time that we have the
opportunity to see you perform." -- Paula Davis,West End Synagogue,
Nashville, TN
"I cannot thank you enough for your incredible performance last week. They are
still talking about it! I have also used your lullaby tape for a Yiddish class. You
are a beautiful and talented singer." -- Valerie Seidner, Jewish
Community Center of Nashville, TN
"On behalf of the audience and myself included I wish to thank you for the
wonderful performance for the Wynmoor Yiddish Variety Program at the Wynmoor Theater.
Your choice of songs, your singing voice, your personality, and everything about you
made everyone in the audience fall in love with you. I received many compliments about you
and the show. It was a wonderful afternoon for the Yiddish culture we are trying to
preserve. Shalom!" -- Leon Rifkin, Conductor/Director, Wynmoor
Village Yiddish Variety Program, Coconut Creek, FL
