"Just as Olga Mieleszczuk and billions of fellow human beings are by virtue of the small-world phenomenon positioned within 6 or fewer degrees of each other ... musicians, writers, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, quiltmakers, multimedia artists et al in a system of interlinked recommendations are likewise positioned — by the identical phenomenon — within a handful of transitable steps of each other — and by extrapolation — within discoverable, accessible reach of just about everybody everywhere here on planet earth. Algorithms not necessary."

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.
