This concert is an online adaptation of a signature multi-dimensional performance from Tapestry: Arts & Ideas from the JCC. It features 9 musical compositions performed by 19 local musicians, hosted and narrated by Jody Hirsh, and augmented by relevant visuals and a classic video. The genres span a wide range of performance: Classical, folk, Traditional Jewish Liturgy, Dance, Broadway, and more. Lessons from Life is centered on the theme of Joy and Sadness. When we are feeling great joy, how do we share that joy? How does music help us express the joy of the moment? And likewise, if we are experiencing sadness or even tragedy, how does the world nurture us? And, how does music help us find solace?
