Cantor Porzecanski's Class with Special Guest,  Robert L. Cohen
Robert L. Cohen, folk and Jewish music historian, returns to bring us three wonderful lectures on Thursdays Oct 31, Nov 7 and Nov 14. 

Class #3, NOV. 14, 2024 from 7-8:30pm (BHS' Library):
Jewish Music into the Mainstream: Jewish Themes in American Popular, Classical,
and Folk Music
American-Jewish composers, and some non-Jewish musicians as well, have infused mainstream musical forms and styles — from popular song and musical theater to folk music and bluegrass; from classical music and jazz to reggae and world music — with Jewish passion and yearning as well as Jewish musical themes and motifs: with the sounds of Jewish chant and the texts of Jewish prayer.
