Worldlines to Olga Mieleszczuk:

One may begin above and in a short series of steps forward (Worldlines from Olga Mieleszczuk: I'LL TAKE YOU THERE! ▶) or backward (Worldlines to Olga Mieleszczuk:) arrive at most any other artist in the matrix.

This by the same seemingly magical mathematics which dictates that in human society itself there are between Olga Mieleszczuk and you 6 or fewer degrees of separation.

Ditto Quincy Jones, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and the writers and New Orleanseans and Brazilians and everybody else below the window.

Signed, sealed, delivered the world is yours!

My Life & Work

Bio: Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk is a singer, accordion player and researcher of Eastern European musical folklore. Born in Warsaw, for the past several years she has been dividing her time between Warsaw and Jerusalem. Olga is educated in classical music (B.A. in Music School of F.Chopin in Warsaw) and graduated with a master’s degree in Anthropology of Culture (Warsaw University). Since the very beginning of her creative work she has focused on Jewish music of Ashkenazi roots, especially from the borderlands of Poland (Galitzia, Polesye). She's studied Chassidic music, Yiddish folk songs, and multilingual Jewish songs. She participated in a two-year seminar for Yiddish songs in the Yiddish Theatre in Warsaw and is studying Yiddish in the Yung Yidish center in Tel Aviv. Olga also studied the traditional singing techniques of Slavic music (per Ukrainian “white voice") with the Borderland Music Foundation, based in Poland.

Olga has performed at Lincoln Center in New York City, the Jewish Museum in Oslo, the Eden-Tamir Music Center in Jerusalem, the Jewish Music Festival in Warsaw, the Chutzpah! Festival in Vancouver, the Jewish Music Festival in Berkeley California, Festival Piyut in Jerusalem, in the Jewish community Center in Copenhagen, in the Polish Consulate in Kaliningrad...and many other wonderful festivals and places.

Her debut CD "Jewish Folksongs from the Shtetl" was very well received, and her album "Lilalo" was released in 2015.

Olga is initiating Polish-Israeli music projects in cooperation with organizations for Yiddish culture in Israel and Poland: Shalom Foundation in Warsaw, Cukerman’s Gate Foundation and Meeting Rimanov Association, and the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews.
