About The Event
Join us for a spiritually inclusive, gratitude-themed concert featuring Ernest Bloch’s SACRED SERVICE and Kurt Weill’s KIDDUSH, as well as the world premiere of a newly commissioned piece by Jerusalem-born composer Daniel Rein (OUR AMERICA), whose work is known for blending Jewish, Christian, and Islamic motifs. Taking place at the architecturally renowned 1400-seat Central Synagogue, the performance will feature baritone Justin Austin (INTIMATE APPAREL, OUR AMERICA), house organist David Strickland, and Senior Cantor/tenor Daniel Mutlu.
O How Good will honor the life of beloved Board member Lois Conway, who passed in April 2022. By showcasing emerging stars and a cross-cultural musical world, this concert is a manifestation of the many things she held dear. Bloch: Sacred Service (Avodath Hakodesh)
Weill: Kiddush
Daniel Rein: New Commission (World Premiere)
About The Organizer
The MasterVoices Chorus is made up of volunteers who have a love and appreciation for performing great music. Many members have formal musical training, and some pursue careers in the performing arts, but all are proficient in the skills required for a challenging choral repertoire.
The Chorus rehearses every week for two and a half hours during the concert season. Chorus membership is varied. Some singers are in the performing arts, and others in education, medicine, law, and business. They range in age from high school students to singers who can boast participation for more than 30 years.
In addition to rehearsing and performing, the Chorus contributes to the MasterVoices family as donors, selling tickets and providing administrative and logistical support to the staff. The Chorus elects a formal Singers Council that supports the membership, staff, and Board in executing their missions. The commitment of the Chorus to performing exceptional music contributes immeasurably to the cultural life of New York City.
