Celebrations Through the Centuries: Chamber and Choral Concert at the United Synagogue in Hoboken.

On Saturday, February 20th, at 8pm, the United Synagogue of Hoboken will host "Celebrations Through the Centuries," a concert of culturally and stylistically diverse music. The event will feature musical performances from the Cantigas Women's Choir, Con Vivo, and the United Synagogue of Hoboken's choir.  The event is $15 and doors open at 7:30pm.

The Hoboken-based Cantigas Women's Choir brings women together to explore the rich tradition of women's singing. Their goal is to advocate through song for those whose hearts need to be uplifted and whose voices need to be heard. They sing a broad spectrum of global music ranging from ancient to contemporary. Their website is www.cantigas.net.

J.S. Bach's 5th Brandenburg Concerto will be presented by Con Vivo, a collective of musicians founded and directed by USH member Amelia Hollander Ames, with the mission of bringing the communal spirit of chamber music to Jersey City. More information about the collective and samples of their music can be found at www.convivomusic.org.

The United Synagogue of Hoboken's Choir, made up of congregants and operating under the direction of Rabbi Robert Scheinberg, has been singing a diverse repertoire of Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, and other languages since 1997.
