Rave Reviews for Danny Maseng, Artist in Residence
The legendary composer, singer and performer Danny Maseng provided CBI with a weekend of prayer, music and inspiration. Friday evening 460 gathered to worship and sing in a Shabbat service that was a spiritually transcendent experience. The beautiful voices of Danny, Cantor Bernstein and the outstanding CBI choir and the Chai Band, filled the Sanctuary. Saturday night our chavurot were honored as 350 guests were treated to a two hour havdallah and concert. The concert featured Danny, Cantor, the choir and band and the talented Heidi Gantwerk. The evening was highlighted with Yiddish, Israeli, Ladino, and popular American songs. Danny's extraordinary vocal prowess thrilled the audience which burst into two rousing standing ovations.
