The Dave Tarras Legacy
Hosted By: YIVO
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a concert celebrating the centennial of Dave Tarras’s first recordings and his foundational role in shaping a uniquely American style of Jewish klezmer music. Tarras’s five-decade career, beginning after his immigration from Podolia to New York in 1921, influenced an assimilating mid-century American Jewish community and later helped spark the klezmer revival through his mentorship of younger musicians in the 1970s. The program features leading contemporary performers honoring his enduring impact on Yiddish music.
