Peri SmilowPeri Smilow, nationally recognized contemporary Jewish singer, songwriter, performer, and educator, will present her music and spirit at Columbia Jewish Congregation in Columbia, MD, on Saturday, April 25, 2009, at 8:30 pm. The concert will begin with a beautiful Havdallah service, ending the Sabbath. A concert will follow the service, and a “meet the artist” reception will follow the concert.

Peri’s music and message of “repairing the world” have been heard throughout the United States, Canada, England, Singapore, and Israel. She has released three recordings of original contemporary music, including “Songs of Peace” and “Ashrey.” Her most recent recording Peri Smilow and The Freedom Music Project: The music of Passover and the Civil Rights Movement” features an electrifying 18-voice choir of young Black and Jewish singers celebrating the freedom music of their traditions. This CD was nominated as Best Gospel Album of the Year (2002). Peri’s newest CD “Blessings” will be available in November of 2009.

Tickets are $18 for adults and $9 for students. For further information and/or tickets, please call CJC at 410.730.6044 or email cantormorrison@columbiajewish.org.
