The Mayrent Institute for Yiddish Culture announces the release of Attractive Hebrews: The Lambert Yiddish Cylinders, 1901-1905. Co-produced, annotated, and translated by Mayrent Institute Director Henry Sapoznik for Grammy Award-winning Archeophone Records, Attractive Hebrews captures the music of the performers who first brought Yiddish theater to America. This event will feature live performances by Sapoznik and critically-acclaimed klezmer musicians Kurt and Annette Bjorling. For more information about Attractive Hebrews, and to sample all the tracks on the CD, go to the Archeophone Records website.

Mills Music Library is pleased to co-sponsor this event with the Mayrent Institute, which acquired the twelve earliest known cylinder recordings of Yiddish music in 2015. Mills Music Library houses the Mayrent Collection of Yiddish Recordings, which now includes the Lambert Yiddish Cylinders.
