Series containing recordings of the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir and of a CBC television programme. Included are: a version of the film An Extraordinary Event: The Toronto Jewish Folk Choir and the TSO [Toronto Symphony Orchestra], apparently documenting the 25 March 1947 concert at Massey Hall (silent; evidently an edited transfer from raw footage, [created ca. 1960?]); an audio reel, n.d., Songs of Our People, pertaining to the ca. 1948 Jewish Folk Choir album of that title issued by the Torch Record Company, Toronto; audio discs containing the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir's performance on CBC radio on 31 May 1950 of The New Haggadah (= Di Naye Hagode), composed by Max Helfman in commemoration of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising; a video reel (dub) titled Toronto Jewish Folk Choir, 4 April 1973, apparently produced by CITY-TV, Toronto; and audio discs containing the sound portion (incomplete) of the 6 March 1955 edition of the CBC television programme Scope.
