November 27-December 3, 2002 artpicks The Golden DreydlFantasy writer/radio host Ellen Kushner's The Golden Dreydl: A Klezmer "Nutcracker" is a kid's holiday action dream. Shirim Klezmer Orchestra spins Tchaikovsky's holiday favorite back to its Russian folkloric roots, the same ones that evolved in another direction to give us Klezmer. Yes, the GD, now also available on CD from Rykodisc, is the same Hanukkah tale heard yearly on Kushner's Sound and Spirit (WHYY, Sundays at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.). But the true magic comes from the live show. If Hanukkah and Jewish weddings are not in your tradition, but you'd like to learn, Shirim will make The Golden Dreydl a perfect introduction for you and your family. Prior to the actually spinning of the fantasy, Shirim will do a short set explaining the history and styles of Klezmer music. And, as of yet the show is without official dancers, so they are counting on the audience to get up and do their part in the aisles. Sun., Dec. 1, 2 p.m, $12-$21,Gershman JCC & Y, 401 S. Broad St., 215-569-9700.
