The inaugural ‘KULTUR’ Festival 2009 kicks off Feb. 25 at Florida Atlantic University, 777 Glades Road, with a multimedia presentation of the award-winning children’s book, "Mendel’s Accordion."
The five-day celebration of Jewish music and arts is the brainchild of FAU Libraries director of music collections and performances Aaron Kula.
“I have been dreaming about hosting an interdisciplinary arts festival at FAU for some time, and I am delighted to finally offer these events to our entire community,” he said. The festival concludes March 1 with a concert reuniting the 25-member Klezmer Company Orchestra and the 40-voice Ebony Chorale of the Palm Beaches. Event prices vary.
