W
hen crafting the set-
list for their upcom-
ing concert, “
An
Afternoon of Ahavah: Featuring
the Temple Trio,
” at Temple
Israel on Thursday, June 15, at 2
p.m., Emma Trivax, along with
fellow performers Dan Iwrey
and John Bogdan, made it their
priority to encompass a wide
range of love. The trio aimed
to incorporate various types of
love songs, from romantic and
friendship to the love between a
parent and child.
“We wanted to cover all
those bases in selecting pieces
for the performance,” Trivax
explained. “So, people can
expect a wonderful mix of
these different themes. We
have lively, upbeat songs as
well as slow, romantic melo-
dies. Alongside well-known
classical pieces from Phantom
of the Opera and songs from
Wicked, we also have some less-
er-known contemporary com-
positions that we’re excited to
share. Ultimately, our goal is for
everyone to feel the love.”
Part of Temple Israel’s
Thursday concert series, this
event is presented in con-
junction with the Caring
Community and is free and
open to the community. The
concert will be live-streamed
on the Temple Israel website.
“We have poured our hearts
into this performance, and
we hope everyone can join us
to experience it,” Trivax said.
“We’re thrilled to bring this to
the community.”
While Trivax, Iwrey and
Bogdan are familiar figures in
the Temple Israel music scene,
this concert marks their first
official performance as a trio.
Trivax and Iwrey will provide
the vocals, while Bogdan will
showcase his piano skills.
“While we have performed
together to some extent during
Friday night services, this will
be our first time as a trio,
”
Trivax shared. “We’ll be focus-
ing exclusively on secular music,
and, once again, our aim is to
ensure that everyone feels the
love.
”
