The Yavneh Ensemble, conducted by Robert A.M. Ross, will present music associated with the holy days and observances before, during, and after counting of the Omer, including music for Passover, Yom HaShoah, Yom HaAzma-ut, Lag ba'Omer, Yom Yerushalayim, and Shavuot, plus May Day. Featured composers include Charles Davidson, Yehezkel Braun, Gerald Cohen, and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Soloists will include Hazzan Howard Glantz of Adath Jeshurun and soprano Ilana Davidson. Of special interest is Naomi and Ruth, a lovely cantata for women’s voices, by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. The work will be performed in Italian. The Yavneh Ensemble, founded in 2006, is a chorus of professional and experienced amateur singers. Its mission is to present historic works of Jewish choral music and showcase newer works as well.
