Mark Nadler Will Highlight Jewish Composers at Congregation Brith Shalom

On Sunday, May 7, 2023, at 3pm, Congregation Brith Shalom of Houston, TX will present a singular performance featuring Broadway legend Mark Nadler (Drama Desk and Broadway World Award nominee cabaret artist) and Hazzan David Krohn (Brith Shalom). The two performers will entertain Houston audiences in a program of Jewish Broadway and American Songbook hits at Congregation Brith Shalom (4610 Bellaire Blvd). Tickets are free of charge and open to the general public, with a suggested donation of $18.

With this concert, Brith Shalom will continue to build on its rich tradition of showcasing world-class performers with connections to the Jewish faith for a broader Houston audience, including opera singer Robert Merrill, folk singer Theodore Bikel, and vocalist Liza Minelli. The concert is dedicated to the beloved memory of Fred Levine, businessman, philanthropist, and one of Brith Shalom's most cherished members, who passed away in November 2021.

"Music is part of the fabric of Jewish life. At the center of our collective soul is music." says Brith Shalom Rabbi Ranon Teller. "The power of David's voice is apparent. But even more powerful than his voice is his neshama. His soul is bound to the collective soul of our Brith Shalom community."
