CANTOR VLADIMIR LAPIN PERFORMS BLOCH’S SACRED SERVICE (Avodath HaKodesh) May 2 and May 5
Our Cantor Lapin has been chosen to perform this beautiful work alongside the Kent State University Orchestra and Choirs on both May 2 and May 5, 2024! Ernest Bloch’s composition Sacred Service (Avodath HaKodesh) stands as a monumental work within the realm of Jewish liturgical music and the broad history of music composition. Commissioned in the 1930s, Sacred Service marked a departure from traditional liturgical music in the context of Reform Jewish prayers. Bloch incorporated elements of synagogue chant, cantorial melodies, and biblical texts in rich orchestral and choral framework.
