Starring 2nd Avenue Klezmer Ensemble followed by reading of selections of a new play with music by Todd Salovey and Yale Strom.
With riveting personal anecdotes, history and live music, A Wandering Feast tells world-renowned artist Yale Strom's year long journey of self and musical discovery behind the Iron Curtain in 1981. Strom turned down law school and bought a one-way ticket to the East Bloc to find old klezmer music, first in cellars and archives. That search took him to Holocaust survivors, both Jewish and Roma, who remembered klezmer melodies that had never been published or recorded. Strom began to understand the people who created the culture. He not only found music, he found the soundtrack of his own Yiddish heritage.
