Musical Legacy of Meir Finkelstein (Kramer Concert)
June 2 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Richard L. Kramer Family Concert Series
Adas Israel proudly presents Cantor Meir Finkelstein, featured in a concert of his own compositions.
Meir changed the course of contemporary synagogue music with his unique blend of Hollywood, stage, and bima. His liturgical compositions, which number over 150, are sung all over the world, with L’dor Vador and V’al Kulam as his most famous settings. Meir’s compositional voice is unique – born in Israel as the son of a cantor, he became the youngest cantor in Europe at age 14. He later served Sinai Temple in Los Angeles for 18 years, at the same time enjoying a career as an award winning movie and television composer. Meir successfully blends these musical worlds into word-painting, inspiring song.
Cantor Finkelstein will be joined on vocals by Cantor Faith Steinsnyder, Cantor Marcus Feldman, and our own Cantor Arianne Brown, accompanied by acclaimed Jewish musician Aryell Cohen. Special appearances include the Children’s Chorus of Washington as well as Adas Israel’s own Kolot and Flash Choir. Following an afternoon of glorious music, you’re warmly invited to an hors d’ouevres and ice cream reception
