“In these dark times, our world was shaken. More than ever, the presence of music makes a huge impact on our souls by uniting us in harmony and uplifting our spirits. We are joining as a community to share the light together and listen to some wonderful artists,” says Leader of the Concert Series and B’nai Torah Congregation Cantor Magda Fishman. “The lineup has been hand-selected to bring forth the message of hope, peace and love. We look forward to sharing these magical events with our friends and family and continuing to support each other.”
Wondering what’s next for the remaining Concert Series? On Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m., musical band Soul to Soul will take the audience on a life-affirming journey from deep oppression to hope, employing centuries of musical traditions of Ashkenazi Jews and African Americans. This musical performance promises to be a celebration of love, peace and justice.
On March 6 at 7:30 p.m., Cantor Magda Fishman, who has performed in Israel, the United States, Europe and Canada, and whose musical repertoire includes liturgical masterpieces, Israeli songs, jazz, musical theater and her own compositions, presents an evening of Broadway musical hits with Maestro Tomer Adaddi. “During this concert, the voice that lifts us and takes us to a different spiritual and emotional dimension will come together with a multi-award-winning composer, pianist and music producer for a night to remember,” states B’nai Torah Congregation’s website.
The last Concert Series, scheduled for March 13 at 7:30 p.m., presents Big Band Orchestra and cantor Netanel Hershtik, whose voice is synonymous with tradition and innovation in Jewish liturgical music. “Hailing from a lineage of renowned cantors, Hershtik’s performances are an embodiment of his rich heritage, combined with a modern touch,” says the press release. “His ability to weave ancient melodies with contemporary influences showcases not just his vocal prowess but his dedication to evolving the art form.”
