Yale Strom is a pioneer among revivalists in conducting extensive field research in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans among the Jewish and Roma communities.  Initially, his work focused primarily on the use and performance of klezmer music among these two groups.  Gradually, his focus increased to examining all aspects of their culture, from post-World War II to the present.  From more than 3 decades and 75 such research expeditions, Strom has become the world’s leading ethnographer-artist of klezmer music and history.

On Friday, April 29, sit back and listen to singer-songwriter Lisa Sanders, who was signed in 1998 by MCA Records and whose debut album Isn’t Life Fine was produced by Steve Poltz; violinist Yale Strom (with bassist Jeff Pekarek), a klezmer performer, who, in addition to recording 15 CDs of klezmer music, one of which (Shimmering Lights—X SH6.45) is in the Athenaeum circulating collection, is a documentary filmmaker and ethnographer; and singer-songwriter Sutton James, whose most recent efforts within the indie-folk/alt-country genres belie the spirit of rock ’n’ roll that will always be alive and well in his songwriting.
