50th Anniversary Celebration of Kol B'Seder
November 19, 2024, 7pm
Join the Center for New Jewish Culture as we celebrate 50 years of Kol B’Seder, one of the pioneering musical groups behind the revival of Jewish sacred music in the 20th century. To mark the publication of the Kol B’Seder Anthology from Transcontinental Music Publications, the Center is pleased to host this evening of song and celebration of Kol B’Seder’s unique role in the pantheon of American Jewish music.
The evening will include performances from Dan Freelander and Jeff Klepper, as well as other Jewish singers, songwriters, cantors, and songleaders, a special interview with Dan and Jeff discussing five decades of their work together. Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward supporting the work of Sing Unto God, a nonprofit that trains Jewish songleaders across the country.
