But\, not only did the show include a Suffragette Parade — 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’s internalization of Black Americans’ 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’s Thomashefsky Project. Robboy is leading YIVO Institute’s reconstruction of the score to composer Joseph Rumshinsky’s 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:20260505T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260505T190000 DTSTAMP:20260609T111224 CREATED:20260428T202503Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260428T202503Z UID:10074595-1777996800-1778007600@www.wcsu.edu SUMMARY:Cinco de Mayo / End of Semester Celebration DESCRIPTION:CINCO DE MAYO / END OF SEMESTER CELEBRATION: Join us to celebrate the end of the school year and our club’s accomplishments with music\, food\, and games.
