[hebass <hebass...>]

        The Cantors Institute Alumni Association is organizing a Choral 
Festival and a Yom Iyun on April second and third.  The events will take 
place at the Jewish Theological Seminary, 3080 Broadway, in Manhattan.  
        On Sunday April 2nd, we will have workshops, communal singing and 
choral performances, featuring choirs from all over the US.  Among the 
many scholars running the workshops are Dr. Joshua Jacobson and Cantor 
David Tillman.
        On Monday, Dr Jacobson will teach two sessions, one on Ta'amei 
haMikrah and one in rehearsal techniques and repertoire for synagogue 
choirs.  Dr. Menachem Shmelzer will teach a session on learning and 
preparing a text and Cantor Brian Mayer will teach a session on hilchot 
haShats.  
        Dr. Joshua Jacobson is director and founder of the Zamir Chorale 
of Boston and he heads the music department at Northeast University in 
Boston.  Dr. Menachem Shmelzer is the provost at the Jewish Theological 
Seminary, and Cantor Mayer is a Cantor in Providence,RI, and a faculty at 
the Jewish Theological Seminary.
        No registration is required for the program on Monday, but the 
workshops and concert on Sunday do.  Please contact me for more info.
