Witness the birth of Symphony No. 1: JUDAICA (Days of Awe), a newly commissioned symphonic work by Dr. Steven Rothstein, Artistic Director of the Judaic Sacred Music Foundation, which threads our most cherished High Holy Days melodies and liturgies through a rich and dynamic four-movement lyrical composition for our Age. 

In 2014 Professor H. Freilich founded the Judaic Sacred Music Foundation and merged his love of Jewish and classical music. The Foundation commissioned Dr. Steven P. Rothstein, a composer with a Ph.D. in Classical Music Composition from UCLA, to compose the Judaic Symphony. Together Drs. Freilich and Rothstein engaged in in-depth research identifying synagogue melodies and motifs of the 18th-20th centuries. 

Come and listen as Steve Rothstein and Cantor Judy Dubin Aranoff take you through the journey of bringing your favorite High Holy Day memories from the Synagogue to the Symphony.
