Dan Carkner🎻register to hear my friend @elski talk on thursday:
"YIVO sound archivist Eléonore Biezunski will tell the story of the Max and Frieda Weinstein Archive of YIVO Sound Recordings in relation to the revitalization of klezmer music since the mid-1970s. The impetus of young folk musicians seeking to reclaim the music of their ancestors, [...] was a major factor in the establishment of the YIVO Sound Archive in the early 1980s."

My talk for YIVO has been posted, it'll be on zoom on May 8th 1pm EST. It'll be based on the results of my research here in recent months looking for traces of immigrant Jewish and Klezmer musicians in YIVO's landsmanshaft and mutual aid society collections.
