A Concert of Jewish Music

Sunday, February 27, 2005

Featuring: The Kol Zimrah Choir (Jewish community singers) & Cantor Amy Zussman

Presenting: Ben Steinberg's L'cha Anu Shira

The entire community enjoyed an afternoon of Jewish music, performed by Kol Zimrah and Cantor Amy Zussman. Kol Zimrah is a volunteer civic chorus, representing a cross-section of singers from the Chicao area. The mission of Kol Zimrah is to sustain and interpret the great tradition of Jewish choral music, serve as a musical resource for the region and encourage the composition of new Judaic choral works.

The afternoon's program included L'cha Anu Shira, a Sabbath evening service written by the great 21st century Canadian composer, Ben Steinberg, and included his beautiful composition, Shalom Rav, from our High Holy Day liturgy and Hashkiveynu, commissioned by Temple Jeremiah in honor of Rabbi Schreibman's retirement.
