Shireinu Choir of Long Island Presents Annual Concert June 7^th;

Program Features Zalmen Mlotek,

Director of the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene

The Shireinu Choir of Long Island, under the direction of Deborah Tartell, will present its annual concert on Sunday, June 7, at 3:00 PM. The concert will take place at the newly renovated Daniel J. Tomaselli Auditorium at Great Neck North Middle School. The upcoming program will include a wide variety of genres of Jewish Choral ranging from music of the 17th Century through the music of contemporary composers.

The Shireinu Choir of Long Island is the largest mixed-voice adult community choir in New York State . The repertoire celebrates Jewish culture by singing its beautiful Choral music . Built on the mission which includes giving back to the community, many of our events throughout the year foster understanding and fellowship across diverse faiths and cultures.

This year’s featured artist, Zalmen Mlotek, is an internationally recognized authority on Yiddish folk and theater music as well as a leading figure in the Jewish theatre and concert worlds. For the past 20 years, he has been the Artistic Director and conductor of the National Yiddish Theatre

Folksbiene (NYTF), and he has collaborated with Joel Grey, Theodore Bikel, Mandy Patinkin and many others as Music Director for NYTF. He received his musical training at the Juilliard School of Music and studied under Leonard Bernstein.

The concert will mark the second time the choir is performing with Mlotek, having collaborated with him at “Soul to Soul,” a program that personifies the alliances that Jews and African Americans formed amid calls for justice during the Civil Rights Movement.

Among the selections included in the concert are Debbie Freidman’s beloved “Shalom Aleichem”, “Barechu” a 16^th century composition by Italian composer Salamone Rossi, “ Yerushalayim Shel Zahav”(Naomi Shemer ) , and a medley of songs from the Broadway musical “Carousel “ (Rogers and Hammerstein).

“All who attend will enjoy hearing the variety of styles and types of music the choir has perfected over the past nine years,” comments Deborah Tartell who is the founding director of the choir. “This year we are thrilled to be performing with Maestro Mlotek, singing some additional songs that are new and different from our usual repertoire.”

Great Neck North Middle School is located at 77 Polo Road in Great Neck. Tickets are priced at $30, $50 and $100 and can be purchased by visiting www.shireinuchoirli.org. Children under five will not be permitted to attend.
