Jewish People's Philharmonic Chorus, NYC, May 21
SHOLEM ALEICHEM, I.L. PERETZ, AND OUR NEW CD
THE JEWISH PEOPLE'S PHILHARMONIC CHORUS (JPPC),
conducted by BINYUMEN ("BEN") SCHAECHTER,
will perform musical adaptations of the works of
I.L. Peretz and Sholem Aleichem,
to commemorate 90 years since their respective deaths.
Last year's JPPC spring concert was so well attended
that many had to be turned away.
Thus, this year the JPPC will give two identical performances on May 21, at
2:00 and 4:30
Where: Hebrew Union College, 1 West 4th Street
Among the highlights in the program:
1) a rarely heard operetta, adapted from
MOTL PEYSI DEM KHAZNS ("Motl, Peysi the Cantor's Son"),
Sholem Aleichem's Eastern European equivalent to
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
2) a stirring musical adaptation of Peretz's classic short story,
OYB NIT NOKH HEKHER ("If Not Higher Still")
3) selections from the new compact disc recorded by the JPPC,
ZINGT! - A CELEBRATION OF YIDDISH CHORAL MUSIC
The JPPC is fresh off a season that included performances at Shea Stadium
and Lincoln Center, and the recording of its first and long-awaited CD.
Mark your calendars.
THIS IS A YIDDISH EVENT YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS.
