out of "The Twilight Zone," but
the food was straight from the
Jewish tradition. "It tasted like
my mother made," laughs Perl-
man.
That taste for the past is no
accident. Somehow, says Perl-
man, in a country noted for its
history of anti-Semitism, "there
is an enthusiastic crowd among
non-Jews for that Jewish
`thing.' It's become an 'in' thing
to go to a klezmer concert
there."
Perlman made a concerted
effort to explore Krakow's
Jewish heritage, performing
Achron's "Hebrew Melody," ac-
companied by pianist Samuel
Sanders, at the Krakow Syn-
agogue.
"Being in Poland was a reaf-
firmation of what I have always
felt," says Perlman. And that
is? "We must never forget what
happened, and we must look to
the past to assure a future."
Perlman's future is certain-
ly filled with concert dates.
There may be a surprise or two
on his summer agenda.
The man who played his first
electric violin during filming
got such a charge from the
whole experience that he's talk-
ing of a possible klezmer tour
next summer. "We may do
three or four dates," says Perl-
man of joining his kindred klez-
matics.
So, Itzhak Perlman, award-
winning concert violinist, is far
from unstrung from his first
foray into klezmer. He has
found a room of his own — "In
the Fiddler's House."
"And I'm not complaining,"
says the fiddler extraordinaire. ❑

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND SOLOIST NIKITA DOLGUSHIN

The famous scenes from the outstanding choreographic performances were performed by participants of the St.

ty of the classical ballet and proved their performances to be the historical document of Russian ballet."
