From the heart-wrenching “David's Lamentation” to the groundbreaking works by Rossi and the electrifying “Chichester Psalms,” our last concert of the season was an incredible journey through Jewish musical traditions.

What a joy it was to come together as a community and share this wonderful music. Thank you to all the dedicated people who made it possible!
