I'm
so excited to share my new Fiddler on the Roof music videos with you
today! It's been a really exciting project to work on and I hope you
enjoy it!
If
you missed the background info on this, please read below about my
amazing journey over the last eight months and how it has lead me to
this new project! I hope you will come to see us at Fiddler on the Roof
on Broadway, now until December 31st. I look forward to greeting you
after the show!

Thank you so much for your interest in my career.

Fiddler Rhapsody and Scherzo - arranged by Oran Eldor
Commissioned by Kelly Hall-Tompkins
Developed with Kelly Hall-Tompkins and Oran Eldor
Also featuring Stephen Benson/Jim Hershman, guitar, Michael Blanco, bass and Joshua Camp, accordion
It
has been an absolutely incredible journey to perform as THE
"Fiddler"/Violin Soloist for Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway.
Unfortunately, that journey now has a finite end and, the show will
present its final performance on December 31st. But that means you
still have 5 more months to buy a ticket if you have not already, or
come see us again! I have been away since July 14, but I look forward
to being back in on August 9th and greeting you after the show!
I
am so excited that this amazing experience has given me so many
wonderful new friendships and artistic collaborations and has stoked my
creative energies to an all-time high! The result of all that (plus 8
performances a week!) is my new solo album "The Fiddler: Expanding
Tradition." The full album will be released later this season and will
feature ALL NEW original and commissioned Fiddler solo violin music from
the creators of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical, Arranger Oran
Eldor and Music Director/Orchestrator Ted Sperling. Inspired by my good
friend Danny Burstein's prodigious and endearing "Tevye" night after
night, I have written my own solo violin version of "If I Were a Rich
Man" and dedicate it to Danny. Sheldon Harnick, Fiddler's original
lyricist (and also amateur violinist) loves my arrangement and is
working with me and the Bock Estate on next steps, so violinists stay
tuned!
I
am happy to announce two new music videos, created once again with my
amazing team of Audio Engineer Bill Siegmund, Cinematographer/Director
William D. Caballero, and my friend, the wonderful fashion designer
Gilles Montezin. The videos feature my arrangement of "If I Were a Rich
Man" and the first of the commissioned works: "Fiddler Rhapsody and
Scherzo," a wonderful new arrangement by Oran Eldor, which I
commissioned and developed together with Oran. This recording features
collaborating artists who are my colleagues at the show: guitarist Jim
Hershman, accordionist Joshua Camp and bassist Michael Blanco (on video,
the guitarist is Stephen Benson). Expanding on the collaboration
between John Williams and Isaac Stern for the 1971 film, I am the first
"official" Fiddler to contribute new repertoire to the violin canon and
Fiddler tradition. So even as this chapter of this wonderful production
draws to a close at the end of the year, a whole new chapter is just
beginning!
Thank you so much for your interest in my career. Videos coming very soon- stay tuned right here!
L'Chaim,
Kelly
