Original Arrangements
And other work made possible by donations under $1800
While donations of $1800 or more lead to the creation of new original compositions, every donation of any size helps add to the musical life and legacy of Temple Emanu-El by supporting the other work of our Composer in Residence. This includes support for the many original arrangements created by Cantor Judy Adelman Gershon to adapt music for use by our choir and our instrumental musicians.
To make a donation under $1800 to the Composer in Residence program that will help support future arrangements and will continue to add to the musical life and legacy of Temple Emanu-El, click HERE.
To contact Cantor Judy Adelman Gershon about the creation of a new piece of music for a donation of $1800 or more, email: judy@templeemanuel.ca
