Neshama Carlebach To Play The Liu

Good morning Joey,

Your website is fantastic!  And easy to get around on.  I have only been here around 47 years so far, served on the Gloucester City Council back in the 70’s,

etc.  My name is Willy Greenbaum. 

I am hoping you can post this music announcement.  The Jewish Temple that burned down on Middle Street when the Lorraine Apartments burned, in late 2007 is putting up a new building and to celebrate the construction the Temple is sponsoring an ecumenical concert on March 12 at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport.  It stars a nationally know Jewish female singer, Neshama Carlebach, her band, and members of the Green Pastures Baptist Choir from New York.

Should be a great night of music.  Here is an announcement for it, with a photo of Neshama.

Community Event Announcement: Neshama Carlebach Concert – March 12 in

Rockport.

Temple Ahavat Achim in Gloucester is celebrating construction of its new building with a March 12 ecumenical concert starring Neshama Carlebach and members of the Green Pastures Baptist Choir of New York. The Temple’s historic synagogue was destroyed by fire in December 2007.

The concert will be at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, Mass. It will begin at 8 and is open to the general public. Sponsor tickets, including preferred seating and a reception with Neshama Carlebach are $100. Regular tickets are $50.

For more information or tickets go to www.rockportmusic.org or phone 978-546 –7391.

Neshama Carlebach, daughter of the famous “singing rabbi”, Shlomo Carlebach, is one of the superstars of contemporary Jewish music, but unlike her father, her repertoire goes well beyond Jewish music and Jewish audiences.

Old-Style Fun at the Liu

A shout-out to D.J. of Bearskin Neck Leathers for coming up with a nickname for the classiest joint in Rockport: the beautiful Shalin Liu Performance Center.  D.J. likes to call it The Liu, pronounced loo, and since D.J. can be kinda scary (in a good way), we do what he says.  Tomorrow at The Liu, there’s a free screening of a movie (filmed in Rockport in 1988) hosted by the great Philip Hopkins of Film Chest, as well as some vintage home movies of Rockport from the collection of lifelong resident Pierce Sears, proprietor of everybody’s favorite hometown business, the Twin Lights Soda Company.  And as if all of that isn’t compelling enough, there will also be a holiday sing-along.  Of course all of this fun is preceded by Rockport’s pageant, beginning at 5 p.m. sharp.

So get to town early, shop, get some coffee at the Bean & Leaf, watch the pageant, watch the movie, watch the home movies, then sing your heart out at The Liu.  Sounds like the perfect pre-Christmas Rockport Saturday to me.
