In a statement Bikel said, "Throughout my life I have been equally passionate about music and social justice, and have allied myself with others whose use guitars, banjos, fiddles and words to conquer fear and injustice. I can think of no better way to celebrate that life than a night of music with some of my nearest and dearest friends, and no more deserving cause than protecting the rights of our nation's most vulnerable children."

Bikel received a Tony nomination for originating the role of Captain von Trapp in Broadway's The Sound of Music. His other Broadway credits include The Lark, The Inspector General and The Rope Dancers, for which he received another Tony nomination. He was nominated for an Oscar for the 1958 film “The Defiant Ones,” and his other film credits include “The African Queen,” “The Enemy Below” and “The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming.” His one-man show is titled Sholom Aleichem: Laughter Through Tears.
