Description
Mini Bio: Theodore Bikel sang from the time he was a child. He sang with his parents at home and in the Vienna woods. Later, as a young man on a kibbutz, he found an abandoned guitar, taught himself to play and has not stopped playing and singing since. He sang with international friends in London, and, as a young actor/singer was invited to Buckingham Palace to perform for the Queen Mother (and her daughters). On coming to America, Bikel first sang in informal venues and clubs. He was invited by Jac Holtzman to record for Elektra records – and since has made more than 25 albums of folk songs, freedom songs, cast albums of musicals, and classical works. Theo was mostly known for his songs in many languages: he sang in 33 of them: and was adored by Jewish audiences for recording many Yiddish albums and Hebrew folk songs. Many Bikel albums were best sellers. Theo began to sing in concert halls throughout the country and abroad, and his concert schedule remained heavy until the last month of his life. In 1956 he gave his first celebrated Carnegie Hall concert, and performed many concerts each year throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe, Israel, New Zealand and Australia. In 1961, together with Pete Seeger and George Wien, Theo co-founded the legendary Newport Folk Festival.
