Remembering the history of family, loved ones, and community is the cornerstone of Jewish liturgy. We conclude our season with the preeminent concert setting of these inspired texts, Ernest Bloch’s dramatic and luminous Avodath Hakodesh.
For two special performances in Doylestown and at Temple Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia, we will be joined by Nashirah – The Jewish Chorale of Greater Philadelphia. The program will also include the premiere of a new work by Cantor Natasha J. Hirschhorn, and Thomas Lloyd’s recent setting of Psalm 46, River of Gladness.
