The YIVO Sound Archive and the Klezmer Revival
Hosted By: YIVO
YIVO sound archivist Eléonore Biezunski will explore the origins and significance of the Max and Frieda Weinstein Archive of YIVO Sound Recordings in the context of the klezmer revival movement of the 1970s. The archive grew out of a broader “roots movement,” as young musicians sought to reconnect with ancestral traditions through Yiddish folk and klezmer music. Biezunski presents the archive not only as a source of historical recordings but as a living space shaped by creative individuals and evolving cultural contexts.
