It has been said that WEVD was the soundtrack of Jewish New York for much of the 20th century. Founded in 1927, the citys most popular Yiddish radio station billed itself as the station that speaks your language. WEVDs original programming featured performances of Yiddish folk and theater music, concert and choral music, cantorials, Hasidic chant, klezmer, and more, much of it created by its staff of composers and arrangers, including Joseph Rumshinsky, Alexander Olshanetsky, Sholom Secunda, Sam Medoff, Joe Garnett, and Abraham Ellstein. In this talk, Hankus Netsky will discuss the significance of this unique treasure trove of music and how it found a permanent home at the New York Public Library.
