"I Believe: A Shoah Requiem"
To Be Shown On Film At JCC
In honor of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust
Memorial Day), the Jewish Community

pella cantata, was com-
posed by Cantor Daniel

Synagogue and features
150 choral voices. The
film version was record-
ed last year at Orchestra
Hall, where "I Believe"
Cantor Daniel
had
its world premiere.
Gross
Gross, whose "I
Believe" includes tradi-
tional prayers and writings by poet Paul
Celan and author Primo Levi, will attend
the JCC event and offer comments follow-
ing the film.
Gross said he wrote "I Believe" as a
response to the lack of musical liturgy that
honors Yom HaShoah.
"I Believe" was conducted by Grammy
Award-winning conductor Jerry Blackstone
of the University of Michigan. Participants
included many clergy and choir groups,
both Jewish and not, from the community.
