Re: '"Empezar Ouiero Contar" Canciones Sefarad'

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

Chevra,

I had the chance to hear Judith and her daughter Tamar in concert recently 
at Harvard Hillel. Their range of repertory and deep (but not fussy) 
scholarship make for a very rewarding musical experience. Do try to see her 
if she's concertizing wherever you happen to be.

Best,

Joel
