Syracuse University will host renowned singer and stage actor Theodore Bikel and a trio of other world-renowned musicians through April 16 for a week of inter-ethnic music and conversation.

Bikel, singer Shura Lipovsky, accordionist Merima Kljuco and conductor Tamara Brooks are the featured performers in “Bridge to Peace,” a concert of Bosnian, Christian, Jewish and other ethnic music. The concert will be held on Saturday, April 14, at 8 p.m. at University United Methodist Church, 1085 E. Genesee St., and is free and open to the public. The Connective Corridor shuttle will be available for this event. For a shuttle schedule, visit http://www.connectivecorridor.syr.edu.

In addition to the April 14 concert, Bikel, Lipovsky, Kljuco and Brooks will participate in a variety of concerts, classroom visits and discussions during the week. All events are free and open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, parking for all of these on-campus events is available in the Irving Garage for $2.75 for the first two hours.
