participants.
And she would have loved to have
been there in person, but Tiffany Green
is a bit busy these days; she's about to
give birth to her first child with husband
Curin Green.
Tiffany Green's "appearance" at the
event is only one of the moments that
will make this year's cantors concert,
to be held at Temple Israel in West
Bloomfield, a little different.
In addition to Green, the concert will
feature Earl Berris, Samuel Greenbaum,
Daniel Gross, Leonard Gutman, Rachel
Gottlieb Kalmowitz, Frank Lanzkron-
Tamarazo, Neil Michaels, David Propis,
Pamela Schiffer, Michael Smolash and
Penny Steyer.
The program, To Everything There Is a

— but there's almost always a twist.
"We're approaching the holidays from
many different musical perspectives,
with songs from a variety of genres:'

Temple Israel.
