Romania Romania! Jewish/Yiddish Music and Broadway Musical Theatre

Wednesday, May 20, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Free

Did you know that klezmer music and the best Jewish/Yiddish songs originated in Romania and helped to create Broadway musical theatre as we know it today? Yes! Yiddish theatre is the “grandparent” of Broadway musical theatre.

Come and enjoy the music while Yale Strom shares his insights and research with us about the long road this music has traveled since the 17th century and why it still permeates Jewish and popular culture in America today.

Yale Strom is one of this country’s foremost scholars on Jewish Klezmer music. He is an award-winning musician, composer, photographer, documentary filmmaker, author, and playwright.

No fee, but RSVP is necessary for planning purposes.
