My Experience of the Concert at SDSU

October 24, 2014
7:30 pm

I am very grateful that I was able to attend this concert at SDSU Smith Recital Hall.

I had my eyes opened to aspects of Jewish life in San Diego that inspired me:

I had no idea that Tiferet Israel Synagogue, not really that far away from my home had an orchestra.

I was inspired to explore further the Jewish Studies Department at San Diego State.

I saw again Pam Fox, who I met at the Essene Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit a number of years ago. She read a poem onstage. She is a teacher at SDSU in
Bible studies and mythology.

I met Sura-Appel-Lennon, the committee chair of this event. I was inspired to help her in her vision to create a bigger event in San Diego. She expressed a vision to have this program at Symphony Hall.

I felt happy for Yale Strom, Jewish Studies Program Artist in Residence at SDSU. It felt like he really had carved out a great niche for himself at the nearby university. I was introduced to his work about a decade or more ago, but had not seen him since.

I met a wonderful artist, Hamed Nikpay. He gave me a copy of his CD. He was a guest performer in Common Chords, the group that Yale Strom has.

What Time Will It Be?

This is a lovely video. This was one of the songs in the concert. The woman in the video, Elizabeth Schwartz, performed this in the David Pearl Concert.
