About Our Musical Programs
Generations Choir
Generations Choir is a volunteer choir that is open to all members from fourth grade through adult. The only requirement necessary is a desire to learn and a love of music!
Our choir is a unique and warm experience where children and adults sing in harmony and create beautiful music. Under the direction of Cantorial Soloist Allison Teisch, Generations Choir sings during worship services and the High Holy Days, as well as community wide events and at nursing homes.
Generations Choir truly spreads joy to all who hear them sing!
Chutzpah Band
Using a mix of traditional and contemporary melodies our volunteer band, “Chutzpah”, led by Cantorial Soloist Allison Teisch accompanies worship services and special events.
Whether playing for a Shabbat Service, Tu B’Shevat or Women’s Seder the Chutzpah Band lends the perfect musical accompaniment. It is a moving musical experience for members of the band and those who sing along in a community of musical worship!
Any temple member is welcome to audition. At present the band boasts an incredible group of musicians including keyboard, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, viola, percussion, drums and vocals.
