http://www.hispanictips.com/?p=68071 The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony's exciting education concert: "Patchwork of Cultures: The Sephardic-Latino Connection" will be held on November 30, 2009 at 11:00 am at Valley Beth Shalom Synagogue , 15739 Ventura Blvd in Encino. The concert serves as the culmination of a series of classroom workshops for 4th, 5th and 6th grade students led by LAJS teaching artists in each of the participating schools. The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony celebrates its 13th year using the language of music to build bridges between cultures and generations in Los Angeles.

LAJS' Music Education Program has reached over 12,000 students over the past twelve years. This program is taught by Los Angeles Jewish Symphony Teaching Artists who visit 4th, 5th and 6th grade student classrooms in both public schools and private Jewish day schools. Students learn about the descendants of Spain, focusing on the similarities between the Latino community and Sephardic Jews by exploring their music and cultural backgrounds. This program integrates music directly into the students' history lessons. As part of the program each student creates a work of art to parallel the music.

All students mingle at the concert, where student artwork is on display for all to see. Together they will dance the Mexican Hat Dance, sing along to the music they have studfies and experience the live orchestra, often the first experience for many of the students. This program was originally funded by a prestigious grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information, please visit www.LAJewishSymphony.org

Participating Schools are: Beth Hillel Day School, Brawerman Elementary, Columbus Avenue Elementary, Heschel Day School, Kadima Hebrew Academy, Kittridge Elementary, Shalhevet School, Sinai Akiba Academy, Steven S. Wise Elementary, VBS Day School, Weizmann Day School

The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony (LAJS), founded in 1994, is the only one of its kind outside of Israel. The LAJS has touched the hearts and minds of the culturally and religiously diverse community of Los Angeles. By reaching out with the language of music, the symphony's programs have been instrumental in giving voice to the heart and souls of the Jewish people. The Symphony has presented numerous world-premieres of works by Jewish composers, premiered works never-before performed in America and presented world premiers in Israel. Its mission is to perform orchestral works of well known and aspiring Jewish composers; establish opportunities for the presentation of new compositions by Jewish artists; serve as a professional source for aspiring Jewish and non-Jewish musicians; and act as an educational medium for Jewish music by providing educational opportunities for diverse populations of school age children. Since 1998, over 10,000 elementary school students of diverse multicultural backgrounds have participated in music education programs sponsored and taught by the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony.

In addition to her duties as Artistic Director and Conductor of the LAJS, Dr. Noreen Green is music director of Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, and is an accomplished educator and a renowned lecturer on Jewish Music. Dr. Green has received much public recognition for her outstanding contributions to the multi-cultural musical scene in Los Angeles.
