Jill Goldman and the Kadima band will be the featured performers at the Beth Tikvah Coffee House on Saturday January 7, 2012. Music has always been Jill’s favorite way to connect - with people, with the depth of all human emotions, and even with the spirit of life and healing. Jill delights in bringing popular songs, jazz standards, songs of romance, love, and Jewish music from almost any genre, to audiences of all ages. With Jill’s warm, earthy, natural style, and a voice described as “very chicken soup”, she invites the listener on a journey of exploration into feelings universal to all people.
In addition to Jill and the band, we are very excited to introduce Shir Joy, a brand new community choir dedicated to the performance of Jewish music, to the Boroughs Community for their debut performance! Partly funded by the Jewish Federation of Central MA, choir participants are not required to be Jewish nor do they need to be affiliated with a Jewish organization to join. The approximately 40 members represent a dozen towns and cities from across Central Massachusetts. Music is sung in Hebrew, English, Ladino, and Yiddish. Their conductor, Jonathan Rappaport, is an experienced musician and music educator, currently on the faculty of the New England Conservatory and Executive Director of Arts|Learning. He has published 18 choral works and 4 books.
Dennis Lindenberg of Beth Tikvah Synagogue will serve as our Master of Ceremonies. Also returning this year will be Soul Fege, an A Capella group from Algonquin High School.
