When the Jewish Community Center's Stephen Gottlieb Music Series, estab- lished by Sarah and Harold Gottlieb of Birmingham, presents its annual Michigan Board of Cantors Neil Michaels Concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, a touch of master- ful video technology will make it seem as though Green is right there on stage, singing along with three other Tiffany Green participants.

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.
