In a two-part, Sunday morning series ,“Celebrating Fiddler on the Roof,” AJ is delighted to host Maestro Karl Middleman, on Sunday, February 23 and March 2, at 10:00 AM. Last year marked the 60th anniversary of the original stage production of Fiddler on the Roof, one of the most venerated, beloved, and frequently performed musicals of all time. Fiddler has a special place in the hearts of Jews the world around, but there is much behind the scenes history of which most of us are unaware. Sholem Aleichem, Marc Chagall, Jerome Robbins, and Zero Mostel are just a few of the Jews who were central to the creation of Fiddler, and the trials and tribulations with which they coped in bringing it to reality form a fascinating look at the cultural and political history of its time. Middleman is founder and former Music Director of the Philadelphia Classical Symphony and a member of the faculty of Temple University, and he’ll offer his keen insights into the quirks, difficulties, and raptures that the creators encountered. The series will include large dollops of memorable music, dance, and art mixed with a heavy helping of behind-the scenes capers, and for those who register, brunch will be served! The cost is $10 per person, per session. You may sign up for one or both sessions. The deadline for registration is Tuesday, February 18 for the first session and Tuesday, February 25 for the second session.
