During the late 19th century, immigration patterns in America changed as new arrivals came through Ellis Island from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many children of Jewish families helped create an “American” sound between 1900-1920. These artists had major influence in both the creative and the performance worlds. The changes in music coincided with major technology changes as these artists had an impact on stage, on recordings, on radio and later in film. Sponsored by Union County Division on Aging.
