We preview a new film premiering next week on Mountain Lake PBS by 2 Canadian filmmakers who tell the history of Jewish Cantorial Music in Montreal, from the era a century ago when it was immensely popular, to its gradual decline over the decades, to today, and signs of revival, thanks to a group of new age Cantors who are introducing cantorial music to a whole new generation.
We talk with Marvin Rosenblatt, the film’s Executive Producer, Evan Beloff, the Director, and Cantor Daniel Benlolo.
Watch the trailer of the film:
