A Cultural History of Fiddler on the Roof

Monday, February 26, 2024 17 Adar I 5784

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

REMEMBER, "IF I WERE A RICH MAN......." From, "FIDDLER ON THE ROOF"?

Since its debut in 1964, "Fiddler on the Roof" has inspired religious conversions and secular satire; its songs have been incorporated into sacred ceremonies and sampled into hip-hop hits.

Join us on Feb. 26, 7PM at West End Synagogue to hear Alisa Solomon, author of WONDER OF WONDERS: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, as she considers, in a multimedia presentation, where the astonishing power of the beloved musical came from and why it
has lasted so long.

Professor Alisa Solomon is Director of the Arts & Culture MA at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
