Rachel Hyman: Singing in the Dark

Rachel’s goal is to share the realities of World War 2 through the laboriously penned lines of those who lived through one of the most tragic, unforgettable times in Earth’s history — the Holocaust.

Rachel Hyman is more than just a recording artist from New York who is captivated with 1940s music. With a strong mezzo soprano voice and a zesty personality, many people have acquainted Rachel’s voice and style to that of the lovely Barbra Streisand in her early years. Rachel released her first album, Hebrew Psalms of Light in 2008 featuring traditional Jewish songs which she recorded in a friend’s basement with no intention of dropping out of college to tour full time. Booking and performing over 500 concerts in 15 countries including Ireland, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Denmark and Ukraine, Rachel has a passion for both making music and promoting it.
