So what is Klezmer music, anyway? We're featuring it tonight during Prairie Breezes Mini Concert for Kids. Beginning at 6:30 in the Lewis Auditorium, "Little Oy on the Prairie" will warm us with the infectious rhythms and singing melodies of traditional Klezmer music. To find out more, try Mendel's Accordion by Heidi Smith Hyde (illustrations by Johanna Van Der Sterre). Hyde's book tells the story of how Klezmer music made its way across the ocean from Eastern Europe to the United States. The simple text and clear pictures would make for a good lapsit story or classroom reading. Enjoy Klezmer music at home from our compact disc collection featuring the versatile Ishtak Perlman with the Klezmer Conservatory Band (In the Fiddler's House), Naftule Brandwein (King of the Klezmer Clarinet ) or Alicia Svigals (Fidl). -Elaine B.
