You donât have to travel to Amherst to celebrate the 40th anniversaries of the Yiddish Book Center and the Klezmer Conservatory Band.

Video excerpts will include acclaimed productions such as âA Jumpinâ Night in the Garden of Edenâ (1986); âThe Fool and the Flying Shipâ with Robin Williams (1991); two PBS Great Performances specials; tribute greetings from well-known KCB collaborators, including Itzhak Perlman and Joel Grey; and more.
