First JMI Cantorial Summer School
SOAS University of London Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG
International Faculty of Cantors from USA, Canada and Israel
Course Director, Stephen Glass,
Course leaders Cantor Arie L Subar (Montreal) Cantor Josée Wolff (School of Sacred Music, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, New York)
Guest lecturers Cantor Naftali Herstik (Jerusalem/Tel Aviv), Cantor Alberto Mizrahi (Chicago)

For the first time in London a Summer School devoted to the traditional modes and melodies of the synagogue – for Sabbaths, Pilgrim Festivals, High Holydays, weekdays and Jewish weddings in the Ashkenazi (Eastern and Western European) tradition - for people of all backgrounds and traditions from very beginners to even the most experienced service leaders. Come and learn/brush up/refine/improve/develop/broaden/increase your skills and learn some new music that is guaranteed to enhance the services in your synagogue. There will be opportunities for problem solving. The focus will be on repertoire and technique as well as interpretation of the text and congregational participation. It takes place at London University, in the heart of Bloomsbury. This course is a ‘must attend’ for anybody leading services on the High Holydays or who is occasionally called upon to lead Sabbath or Holiday Services. It is also for those new to the genre. (Fluency in Hebrew, knowledge of the liturgy and written musical notation will be an advantage)
