Creating Musical Moments

Presenting Beth Hamon, Artist-in-Residence
Musician, Visual Artist, Jewish Educator

February 21-23, 2020

Beth Hamon is a singer-songwriter whose contemporary folk songs straddle the line between Jewish and secular themes of justice, hope, renewal and love. Her music has a raw quality that exhibits equal parts vulnerability and strength. Beth's unique art is made from recycled, repurposed and found objects. She comes to us from Portland, Oregon. 

Listen to selected music: ►Kol Han'shema and ►R'faeynu

Beth will share her many talents in an exciting weekend of events as we celebrate
The Year of the Cantor
