But\, not only did the show include a Suffragette Parade 鈥 it has also been described as the first Yiddish musical to incorporate American rhythm. This lecture by scholar Ronald Robboy will explore the idea that Gershwin鈥檚 internalization of Black Americans鈥 music was influenced by his early immersion in Yiddish theater. \nRonald Robboy is a musician and independent scholar based in San Diego\, where he was a professional cellist for many years and\, beginning in the 1970s\, an early West Coast experimentalist in the klezmer revival. He has written and lectured extensively on Yiddish theater music\, and in 1998 was named Senior Researcher for Michael Tilson Thomas鈥檚 Thomashefsky Project. Robboy is leading YIVO Institute鈥檚 reconstruction of the score to composer Joseph Rumshinsky鈥檚 operetta Khantshe in Amerike (1912)\, to be performed in New York at the Center for Jewish History in May 2026. \nThis virtual event is from 1 to 2 p.m. Register at https://yivo.org/George-Gershwin URL:/events/calendar/yiddish-theater-george-gershwin-and-the-birth-of-an-american-sound/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Affiliated Event,Diversity,Music,Virtual event,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/181/2025/03/Virtual-Event-500x300-no-shield.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260505T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260505T170000 DTSTAMP:20260610T024127 CREATED:20260203T235836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260223T204651Z UID:10074242-1777993200-1778000400@www.wcsu.edu SUMMARY:Mindfulness at the Library DESCRIPTION:MINDFULNESS AT THE LIBRARY: Feeling stressed this semester?
