Judaica Sound Archives at FAU Libraries to host Lecture on Composer John Zorn at Hillel

I got a nice email last week from about an upcoming lecture on John Zorn. I wish I could attend but it is, as most interesting things are, MMFH (many miles from here.) I asked Daniel if it would be recorded and made available via the internet and he didn't know but would look into it. We can hope.

Here's the press release:

WHAT: Daniel Scheide, a librarian at Florida Atlantic University Libraries, will present a lecture titled “John Zorn and the Future of Jewish Music.” Scheide will discuss how Zorn, a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist who has been influenced by free jazz, avant-garde, classical and hardcore punk, is challenging the perception of Jewish music.
WHEN: Tuesday, May 29, 2007, from 7 to 8 p.m.
WHERE: Paul C. Wimbish Wing of the S.E. Wimberly Library
Mildred & Abner Levine and Ruth & Saul Weinberger Jewish Life Center
