AFTERNOON CONCERT OFYIDDISH MUSIC

On Wednesday, June 18 from 1:00-2:00 pm, Arnie Glick, accompanied by pianist David Sparr and clarinetist Glenn Dickson, will present a concert and educational program about Yiddish songs. The program will feature folk tunes and songs from the Yiddish theater, including one that started out in Yiddish and then later was re-written with English lyrics to become a huge worldwide hit. (Hint: the Andrew Sisters recorded it.) And, in recognition of the recent off-Broadway theatrical success of
Fiddler on the Roof performed all in Yiddish, the program will include songs from that production. In addition, Arnie will share background information about the songs and their composers, and he will explain the meaning of the lyrics of each song.

Please register at 617-730-2770.
