The Cantorial Concert

Register Here

The Cantorial Concert was organized by Rabbi Hazzan Gabrielle Pescador, the Rabbi of the Ann Arbor Reconstructionist Congregation. She has worked to gather the musical leaders of the Reconstructionist Congregation (AARC), Temple Beth Emeth (TBE), and Beth Israel to develop a vibrant performance that taps into many aspects of Jewish culture. The performers are Rabbi Hazzan Gabrielle Pescador, Cantor Annie Rose, Cantor Regina, Cantor Emma, Deborah Greene, and Jeff Pickell. They will sing a mix of solos, duets, trios, and some lively whole group numbers! The cantors and singers will be accompanied by TBE’s pianist, Casey Baker. The music will be a mix of secular and religious Jewish songs, ranging from Sephardic folk songs, Yiddish ragtime, and old liturgical poems set to modern melodies. This event will comprise two parts: a concert performed live by the musical leaders that’s sure to get everyone’s ruach raised, followed by an interactive song circle led by the musicians of the AARC. The song circle will focus on Jewish songs for peace and healing, helping us to come together during tumultuous times through musical connectivity. This event is intended for audiences of all ages. Everyone is welcome at this event and your voice is needed!
