Fun with Bubbles & Baubles!

A note from Rabbi Joseph

If you read your Shofar carefully, you have already heard our most exciting news -- that Paul Richards will be our cantorial soloist for the 2012/5773 High Holidays! Paul has just informed me that several of his compositions will be performed locally in the next few weeks, and I'd love to pass along the details, straight from the source:

Dear Friends,

I wanted to let you know about two concerts in February that will feature some of my music. 

First, on February 9th in the University Auditorium, the University of Florida Wind Symphony will present two of my concertos:  "Snake in the Garden", for clarinet and wind ensemble, with outstanding student clarinetist Mikey Arbulu as soloist; and "Bat out of Hell", for saxophone and wind ensemble, with UF saxophone professor and world-renowned virtuoso Jonathan Helton as soloist. 

Then, on Feb. 28, the Boston Brass, an enormously talented and entertaining brass quintet, will premiere a new fanfare, "Adrenaline Junky", composed specifically for this event.

Hope to see you there!

Paul

"Bubbles and Baubles" coming on February 25
