Projects

While there is never enough time to do everything one would like, Eleanor does like to keep productively busy in a variety of musical ways. Her projects fall into the following categories:

Guest Soloist Engagements

Eleanor enjoys the challenges and rewards of singing as a Guest Soloist, whether in musical concerts or co-officiating in services as a Cantorial Soloist. See her list of upcoming events here.

 

Recording Sessions

While nothing compares to live music, recording does have its own rewards. There is an accomplishment in creating durable art which many can enjoy at leisure and in the privacy of their home.

Eleanor has two recording projects in the works: a CD featuring a number of her Jewish Liturgical Music favorites, and a CD version of her popular Healing Service.

Life-Cycle Events

The special occasions that mark the passage of our lives are important musical times as well. When we gather with friends and family for events such as B'nai Mitzvah, Weddings, Anniversaries, Celebrations, and Funerals, the sentiments of the moment are sometimes best carried by the human voice in song.

Eleanor regularly lends a musical hand to help ensure these events are everything they need to be and more.

Outreach Programs

Victor Hugo said "Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent."   Recognizing this power, Eleanor regularly finds a way to bring music to people in need.

Eleanor often shares music with seniors unable to leave their residence. She has also created and regularly leads a popular para-liturgical Healing Service composed of meditative musical selections and readings.

Workshops

Eleanor shares her love of music in ways other than singing. She has introduced many to the wonders of Jewish Liturgical Music both inside and outside of the community. Working with amateur musicians of all types, she offers advice, tips, and a fresh and pragmatic point of view to re-energize and revitalize.

Eleanor custom designs presentations to suit the individual needs and aims of each group.

Miscellaneous Fun

In pursuit of the pure joy of music, Eleanor participates in many and varied music projects. From regular concert and opera chorus performances in association with the Canadian National Arts Center to special small-ensemble projects, Eleanor enjoys the opportunity to work with a wide variety of world-class and rising-star conductors and stage directors.
