Join us for a lively and thought-provoking one-hour CSP online program with renowned scholar Dr. Joshua Jacobson as we explore Jewish Music and All That Jazz. Through film clips from the groundbreaking 1927 movie The Jazz Singer and musical highlights from America’s Jazz Age, Dr. Jacobson will guide us in examining the dynamic intersection between Jewish identity and American culture. How did American life shape Jewish composers—and how did Jewish musicians help shape American music? This session will delve into the tension, creativity, and cultural fusion that emerged as Jews navigated their dual identities on the American stage. Don’t miss this musical journey through history, identity, and innovation!
