CHOIR
Come and join our choir family of singers, and enjoy wonderful music, camaraderie,and joyous spirit. Prior experience not necessary, just a love of sharing spirit, joy, and song. Our choir meets throughout the year as well, participating in such programs as the World Music Concert at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, Shabbat Shira (Sabbath of Song), Martin Luther King, Jr. Interfaith Service, and other special events. We are planning a special concert for the Spring of 2012. We are meeting every other week, preparing for MLK weekend - the dates are: Nov 2 Nov 16 Nov 30 Dec 14 Jan 4 Jan 11 MLK Shabbat evening of Jan 13 MLK Sunday Sabbath serving morning of Jan 15 For more information, please contact Cantorial Soloist Diane Rose at TISHTONES
The Tishtones are the all-member band of Beth Shir Shalom, the progressive, Reform Synagogue in Santa Monica, California. Led by Cantorial Soloist Diane Rose and Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels, each TishTone volunteers his/her musical skills and enthusiasm in celebrating our one-of-a-kind Shabbat experience: A Shabbos Tish. The band began in the early 1990’s when Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels set our Shabbat evening service around a table in the shul’s social hall for a celebration weaving together music, prayer, study, dance, meditative moments and poetic expression. In the beginning, two or three musicians joined Rabbi Neil on guitar, violin and piano. Over the years, the band has grown in size and repertoire, featuring new pieces from composers in the band and using our “ten thousand opinions” to create original arrangements drawn from our rich tradition of Jewish music. We continually strive to wed the music to the meaning of the text in order to heighten the spiritual experience of our congregation while giving each musical setting a unique TishTone spin. The TishTones are thankful to the Beth Shir Shalom volunteer adult choir who join us on songs arranged and composed for the band/choir by our former cantors as well as members of the band. We are also grateful to the leadership and congregants of Beth Shir Shalom for being “the eleventh TishTone” for so many years, bringing community and sincerity to every new note we play.
