Randy Herman, Alicia Svigals, in benefit for Israeli Children, NYC, Nov 2

BENEFIT CONCERT FOR ISRAELI CHILDREN, FEATURING AMAZING
PIANOMAN RANDY HERMAN AND FRIENDS!

Thursday, November 2nd, 7:30 PM -
"Take a Step for Children in Israel Concert" to benefit Alyn Hospital, Israel's premier rehabilitation
center for physically challenged children. Featuring Randy Herman, "an amazing caffeine-fueled... eclectic pianist-singer songwriter" says the Chicago Reader. After several years as an underground, college-radio artist and studio musician, Randy has recently reconnected with his Jewish roots and dived head-first into Jewish-music territory - and begun a whole new life as a cantorial student at the Jewish Theological Seminary. This truly special concert will feature a 10-piece band of top-notch NYC players, plus special guests fiddle-master and Klezmatics-founder Alicia Svigals, and country-folk duo The Guthries. With Mike Cohen, Stan Schwartz, and outstanding fellow cantorial students Debbie Bletstein and Jen Cohen. A not-too-be-missed event!

Feinberg Auditorium, The Jewish Theological Seminary, 122nd and Broadway.
