This debut CD marks the culmination of more than three years of work. It was inspired by a tradition established by my paternal grandmother. Every Saturday evening after Sabbath each of her children and grandchildren would call her to wish her (in Yiddish) a "gute voch und a gezunte voch und a mazeldiche voch und a parnosehdiche voch und a hatzlachadiche voch" -- a good week, and a healthy week, a lucky week, a successful week" and to hear her wish us the same in return. The fifth song on this CD sets these wishes to music in her memory.
Although it's hard to know precisely when I started singing, one might say I got my start performing Jewish music when, as a young child my parents made me stand up on a chair at a synagogue luncheon and sing the Shabbat zemer "Ki Eshmera Shabbat." Despite this inauspicious start, I went on to sing for many years in the Ramaz lower school and upper school choirs and later, with the Zamir Chorale of Boston. I have studied voice, on and off, for two decades, most recently with fabulous vocal coach Cate Frazier-Neely.
