Many Faces of Love Concert

November 15, 2015 by HCRJ Web Admin Leave a Comment

 

Many Faces of Love: A Concert by Cantor Tunitsky

Sunday, November 15 at 4:00PM

This program is about us, and about our emotions and  music which expresses  them so deeply.  We love with passion; Love to a mother, father,  a child, to a man, woman, son, daughter, the land where we live, to music, to our holidays…and eventually love to our God have been expressed in Jewish  music with unparalleled beauty. We also love passionately the music written by non-Jewish composers, when it reflects the values we cherish and when it depicts new Faces of our Love, like the music of Broadway for example!

On November 15, Cantor Vadim Tunitsky, together with Yanina Didyk at the piano, will take you—on the wings of the melodies you love—on a spiritual journey you will never forget!  Immediately following please join us for a reception.
