Echoes of Old New York: The Black-Jewish Musical Connection
Hosted By: Haberman Institute
The Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies presents a program on the rise of ragtime and the cultural intersection between European Jewish immigrants and Black Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The talk begins with the story of Scott Joplin and examines how Jewish and African American musical worlds influenced one another. The session then broadens to other musicians who contributed to this fusion, tracing how these shared influences shaped a distinctly American music.
