Jewish Traces in Unexpected Places: Oklahoma's Canterbury Voices Sing Hevenu Shalom Aleichem

Hevenu Shalom Aleichem is one of the most widely played and sung Hebrew songs around the world, probably second only to Hava Nagila. We have been sharing versions of this song as performed in India, Guatemala, Australia, Korea, Belarus, and in an Irish pub.

Today we came across another posting of this song, the 24th that we've shared with you. It was posted by Canterbury Voices, a chorus based in Oklahoma.

Canterbury Voices was founded in May 1969 as Canterbury Choral Society. The 165-member Adult Chorus is the flagship program of the organization and the largest of its kind in the state of Oklahoma. All singers are auditioned and most have extensive musical and stage experience. 

 

The Adult Chorus collaborates with many sister arts agencies like the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Oklahoma City Ballet, and Oklahoma City Jazz Orchestra, as well as many talented singers and musicians from around the United States including, Kelli O’Hara, Sarah Coburn and Ron Raines.

 

Enjoy!
