Unique Musical Opportunity

Myrna Pendery — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 04:04:24 +0000

Musician Steven Greenman is heralded throughout the Jewish world for his work as a teacher, composer and performer of East European Jewish Klezmer violin music. As a concert performer, he has been guest soloist with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra, the Canton Symphony and the Akron Symphony. His appearance at Beth Israel has been made possible through the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland’s Fund for the Jewish Future and is supported through the educational resources of the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland.

While this program will be enjoyable in itself, you will find it even more wonderful if you return to perform the piece on Simchat Torah when the congregation celebrates the completion of the Torah reading cycle of the last year and begins the process again with the story of Creation. The Simchat Torah service will be Friday, October 21 at 7:00pm. There will be one additional group rehearsal of the music on Sunday, October 16, from 10:15-11:15am.

So dust off your instruments and mark all the dates in your calendar now!
