Mayrent Institute for Yiddish Culture

Lunch and the Lambert Cylinders with Henry Sapoznik

Join ethnomusicologist and Mayrent Institute of Yiddish Culture Founding Director Henry Sapoznik for an audio tour of the oldest Yiddish sound recordings, the c.1900 cylinders from the Thomas Lambert Company of Chicago.  With these extremely rare cylinders, we not only learn about the depth of the first strata of Yiddish popular culture, but learn about the marketing and outreach of a pioneering and largely forgotten record label.
