Living legend seems like a fair description for Theodore Bikel. He co-starred in A Streetcar Named Desire with Vivian Leigh and Laurence Olivier. The role of Baron von Trapp in The Sound of Music? He originated it. Movies? He appeared in The African Queen, My Fair Lady, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, and many others, including The Defiant Ones, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. (And don’t forget 200 Motels.) As a folk singer, he had his debut at Carnegie Hall, co-founded the Newport Folk Festival, and up to now has recorded close to 20 albums, including one comprised of Soviet Jewish freedom songs smuggled out of the former USSR. Oh, and he’s also a political activist and arts advocate, a talented guitarist, and a fabulous story-teller.

She worked with Theodore Bikel on the play Sholom Aleichem: Laughter Through Tears and in the group Serendipity 4. Her interest in world music, particularly the music of Bosnia, led her to record the album Zumra, in collaboration with Bosnian singer Amira Medunjanin. The Sunday Times of London named Zumra one of the top 10 world music albums of 2010.
