Lenka Lichtenberg - Avinu Malkeinu

Avinu Malkeniu is the deep and deeply loved core of the high holidays liturgy. A musician has to be brave to take on a piece like Avinu Malkeniu. Either that or foolish. I've heard both. This performance by Toronto vocalist Lenka Lichtenberg and her band is a brave one. They approach the material with due reverence, but with great vitality.

The performance is from the 2010 Boskovice Festival, at the Boskovice Synagogue. Lichtenberg and her band will be performing at the Ashkenaz festival in Toronto in a few weeks. It should be a wonderful show. Wish I could go...
