Kol Isha: Pioneering Women Cantors

In honor of Women’s History Month, producer and performer Henry Sapoznik will introduce us to the world of pioneering women cantors. In this program, the term “kol isha” is repurposed and reimagined to honor the pioneering women— Madame Sophie Kurtzer, Freydele Oysher, Sheindele di Khaznte, Goldye Mae Sellers/Goldye di Shvartze Khante, Bas Sheva and Bryna Zuckerberg, among others — who, though denied an ordination of a synagogue pulpit, created through radio, vaudeville, concerts and commercial recordings, an ineffable consciousness in the modern Jewish world.
