Choral Concert with Linda Hirschhorn: “Shabbat Shira – the Sabbath of Song”

Cantor Linda Hirschhorn, a prominent singer, songwriter, and storyteller, will lead a concert to celebrate Shabbat Shira – the Sabbath of Song – at 7 p.m. Saturday, January 31st, at Temple Beth Hatfiloh, on the corner of 8th and Washington in downtown Olympia.

The Saturday concert will begin with a community choir that will have spent the week working under Hirschhorn’s direction, followed by Cantor Hirschhorn performing an engaging solo set of singing and storytelling.  Donations will be requested at the door to help support the Temple music program.

Hirschhorn has been performing since the age of 15 and has received extensive musical training in New York, Jerusalem and California. In addition to regular concert and club appearances, Linda has performed at numerous colleges, synagogues, conferences, festivals and rallies both as a soloist as well as with Vocolot, her women’s a cappella vocal group.  She has recorded eight albums of original compositions, including her latest album, Amazed.  Drawing from a variety of musical styles and texts, Linda’s music reflects her deep concern for peace, justice, and compassion.
