March 25, 8 PM - Choir concert "Let My People Sing, A Pre-Passover Concert."

Performing some of the classics of Jewish music as well as showtunes, Yiddish, Ladino, and Hebrew folk tunes. 


 

Created in 2003, Makhelat HaMercaz Jewish Choir of Central New

Jersey is the brainchild of two local cantors, Anna West Ott of Anshe

Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick and Sheldon Levin of

Congregation Neve Shalom in Metuchen. Under their direction, the group

has attracted singers from Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, and Somerset

Counties. Dedicated to nurturing appreciation of and building community

through Jewish music, Makhelat HaMercaz continues to broaden its

musical repertoire spanning centuries and continents - religious, secular,

classical, jazz, pop and folk tunes sung in Hebrew, Yiddish, English, and

Ladino.

The choir was featured as an emerging guest choir at the 2006 North

American Jewish Music Festival, held in upstate New York in July 2006.

That same month, it received a grant from The Karma Foundation of

Princeton, New Jersey, whose mission is to support the development and

enrichment of Jewish life, in addition to arts and culture. They were also

one of about 50 local arts groups to receive a 2007 grant from the

Middlesex Cultural and Heritage Commission
