[HANASHIR:11381] Summer Study Opportunities for Synagogue Musicians

[Wolff, Cantor Josee (Syn. Music) <JWolff...>]

This summer, send your soloist, organist, or choir director to one of our 
successful study programs.

This year's Mifgash Musicale will take place June 30 - July 3 at HUC in 
Cincinnati and focuses on Three Festival liturgy and repertoire, as well as 
materials for some of the minor holidays (Chanukah and Purim).  Topics will 
include: the structure of the service, congregational melodies, volunteer choir 
repertoire, cantillation for the Three Festivals (Ruth, Song of Songs, 
Ecclesiastes), Hallel for the festivals, hakafot for Simchat Torah, ritual of 
the shaking of the lulav, etc.

If you want to learn more about Shabbat liturgy and repertoire, the Synagogue 
Music track at the Santa Cruz Kallah offers that opportunity.  >From July 
16-21, students will study with Cantor Evan Kent and other Kallah faculty to 
enrich their knowledge of music and prayer while also enjoying the regular 
Kallah programming.

For lovers of choral music the North American Jewish Choral Festival is a must! 
 This year, hundreds of singers will gather from July 21-25 at the Nevele Hotel 
in Ellenville, NY. The daily program includes community sings, instant 
ensembles, a wide variety of workshops, and evening performances by the 
country's top Jewish choirs.
