note from 92nd street Y

[Judith Pinnolis <pinnolis...>]

I just received this note from the 92nd Street Y today, which I thought
would be of interest:

On Dec. 20, The Klezmatics and special guest vocalists will present a
special holiday concert featuring the world premiere of Woody Guthrie's
Hanukkah songs, translated into Yiddish. Called The Yiddish Woody Guthrie,
it will take place at 1395 Lexington Ave, New York City. The Klezmatics have
been working with Nora Guthrie and the Woody Guthrie Archives to uncover
Guthrie's unknown Jewish holiday songs. Also featured will be songs by
Guthrie's mother-in-law and famous New York Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt.
Presented by the Y's MAKOR program.

Other events at the Y include:

Oct. 30  NOA with Gil Dor.
Nov. 15 Giora Feidman
Dec. 24 David Broza

There will also be a series of six lectures by Caraid O'Brien on Yiddish
Theater in America. during Oct. and Nov.
