Re: Santo Serviço Television Premiere

[Marvin Margoshes <physchem...>]

Lovely performance. The only experience I've had with a choir like this was
when my wife and I were allowed in to a service at the Bevis Marks synagogue
in London.  The room was packed, and they were cncerned about security, but
a British friend with us talked our way in, after the guard checked our
passports.

My apologies for the confusion.  After receiving several questions about how
to access the file, I realize that non-Dutch speakers have a problem finding
the file.  The below URL gives direct access to the file.

In 1943 the last members of Amsterdam's Portuguese Synagogue choir, Santo
Serviço were deported and killed.  Now, exactly 60 years later, Santo
Serviço has been re-established.  Our first public performance was opening
the recent Chazzanut Concert: Cantors, a faith in song at the Portuguese
Synagogue.

Our opening number, Baruch Habba, was removed from the PBS broadcast in
America.  If you follow the below URL and click on:

"Eerste live opname Santo Servico op de TV"

 you will see the Dutch broadcast of this historic recording.
