SUMMARY:Yiddish Theater\, George Gershwin\, and the Birth of an American Sound
DESCRIPTION:YIDDISH THEATER\, GEORGE GERSHWIN\, AND THE BIRTH OF AN AMERICAN SOUND: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion is promoting this virtual event. \nAs a teenager\, George Gershwin attended Yiddish theater regularly. “Khantshe in Amerike\,” by family friend Joseph Rumshinsky\, featured a working-class woman asserting her rights and her desires. But\, not only did the show include a Suffragette Parade — it has also been described as the first Yiddish musical to incorporate American rhythm. This lecture by scholar Ronald Robboy will explore the idea that Gershwin’s internalization of Black Americans’ music was influenced by his early immersion in Yiddish theater. \nRonald Robboy is a musician and independent scholar based in San Diego\, where he was a professional cellist for many years and\, beginning in the 1970s\, an early West Coast experimentalist in the klezmer revival. He has written and lectured extensively on Yiddish theater music\, and in 1998 was named Senior Researcher for Michael Tilson Thomas’s Thomashefsky Project. Robboy is leading YIVO Institute’s reconstruction of the score to composer Joseph Rumshinsky’s operetta Khantshe in Amerike (1912)\, to be performed in New York at the Center for Jewish History in May 2026. \nThis virtual event is from 1 to 2 p.m. Register at https://yivo.org/George-Gershwin

SUMMARY:Musical Evening with Rick Reyes
DESCRIPTION:MUSICAL EVENING WITH RICK REYES: Join the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and City Center Danbury as we welcome musician Rick Reyes to Danbury from 6 to 8 p.m. at the City Center Green. \nKnown for his powerful storytelling and dynamic performances\, Reyes blends traditional Puerto Rican sounds with salsa\, merengue\, Latin jazz\, and American folk influences. His music honors the richness of his heritage while also carrying messages of social justice\, cultural pride\, and community connection. As part of Hispanic Heritage Month\, this performance is more than entertainment\, it’s a celebration of identity\, tradition\, and the lasting contributions of the Hispanic community. \nReyes is a Bridgeport-born troubadour\, songwriter\, and storyteller whose music blends Puerto Rican folk traditions with rock\, salsa\, Latin jazz\, and socially conscious themes. Drawing from his upbringing in Puerto Rico and experiences of identity\, resilience\, and justice\, Reyes creates powerful songs that honor heritage while inspiring hope. Through projects like the Cosmic Jíbaros\, Pasofino Social Club\, and Novela Sin Tiempo\, his work celebrates culture\, community\, and the courage to dream. His latest project\, The Puerto Rican Song Book\, uplifts the voices and history of Puerto Rican singer-songwriters\, offering audiences both music and meaning.
