PBS will air violinist Itzhak Perlman and cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot performing the opening song “Yism’Khu (They Shall Rejoice)” backed by The Klezmer Conservatory Band and The Rejoice Chamber Orchestra on Thursday, August 28 at 9 pm. New Yorkers take note: Thirteen will air the program nearly a month later on Sunday, September 21 at 7pm on THIRTEEN, not PBS.
In Rejoice is set to be an evening of cantorial masterpieces, Yiddish folk and theater tunes, Hassidic melodies, and klezmer instrumentals; showcasing liturgical and traditional works in new arrangements for both chamber orchestra and klezmer settings.
The music of Rejoice with Itzhak Perlman and Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot defines the similarities between Perlman’s classical technique and Helfgot's astounding voice, a long awaited collaboration.
