Composer Meira Warshauer Held CD Signing in New York City
Composer Meira Warshauer presented excerpts from her
new Torah-inspired CD, Streams in the Desert: Music for Orchestra and Chorus (Albany Records - Troy 973) in February at Barnes and Noble in Manhattan.
Warshauer writes, "The Torah, Jewish teaching and tradition, is likened to water. It is the source of blessing and goodness, filling all who drink from its well with the knowledge of God. I hope this recording will help to satisfy our thirst and encourage us to continue opening our hearts to the Eternal Spirit in each of us."
