MUSIC AT KI AND YOU

Our programs are designed to be varied, intergenerational, and of interest to all members of our community.

The Sacred Music Program, under the guidance of Cantor Amy Lefko and chaired by Sonnie Katz, is designed to enhance the religious experience at KI. Sacred music is at the core of worship. It must be respectful of tradition, and, at the same time, participatory, warm and accessible. If you are a KI member and would like to participate in adult or youth choir activities, please contact Cantor Lefko at (215) 887-8702.

Our Music Arts Program is an invitation to the greater community to come here to experience the joy of music. Volunteers are always needed to help plan, publicize, produce and actually run musical and related dining events at KI. If you want to sponsor a program – perhaps in honor of a relative or friend or in recognition of a special event – or in memory of a loved one – the cost is modest and the community benefit is great. If you are a business leader who wants to sponsor a program in the name of your business, with all of the attendant publicity, we would like to encourage you to become a program sponsor. If you are interested in program sponsorship, or are available and interested in the mitzvah of volunteer service in support of the program, please contact the Music Arts Committee. You can reach the Music Arts Committee through the KI main office at (215) 887-8700 – or by calling the Music Arts Committee Chairperson, Mrs. Ellen Bildersee, at (215) 947-5131.

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE MUSIC ARTS 

We are committed to offering an appropriate complement to the broad spectrum of worship, learning and shared cultural experiences that are the essence of our congregational family and the most noble universal aspects of our extended community.

We are committed to presenting world-class talent in musical performances that enhance the appreciation of music of all kinds, and that bring the joy of music to our constituency.

We are committed to serving our constituency by bringing these musical experiences to this accommodating and sacred venue, sharing the convenience of our location and our facilities with those who might be unable or unlikely to enjoy these musical events, were they not offered here.

We are committed to producing programs that are intended to appeal to a broad spectrum of ages and tastes, so that a truly inter-generational experience may be shared and enjoyed. 

We are committed to providing a special and extraordinary welcoming venue to those especially talented and generous performers who are willing to share their unique skills with our congregants and our greater community.

We are committed to making the joy of music eminently affordable, while at the same time providing meaningful financial support to our believed Synagogue.

We understand that the human spirit and the human experience are immeasurably enriched by the beauty of art that, in its many forms, including music, transcends all differences among individuals, and, in so doing, offers a true uplifting of the spirit.
