Who The Folk?! Alex Lubet

Before Alex Lubet started a long career in academia, and even before starting college as a student, Lubet had immersed himself in world music thanks to the record-store job he held as a teen in Chicago. That has paid off, as the soon-to-be-retired professor of composing at the University of Minnesota School of Music has taken on the challenge of creating and performing music around the world, and spending a lot of his energy on Jewish music. We talk about his class at the upcoming Engage! Annual Gathering of Jewish Learning, Contemplation, and Creativity, music crossing cultures, and his newest album honoring 19th-century poet Amy Levy, on this week’s Who The Folk?! Podcast.
