Master Cantor to sing at Margaret Tietz

A world-renowned cantor and children’s choir will perform at the Margaret Tietz Nursing & Rehabilitation Center on Sunday, March 25.
The event, organized by Queensborough Community College’s Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives and the Tietz Center, will feature Cantor Sol Zim and the JEM (Jewish Educational Music) Children’s Choir from the Hollis Hills Jewish Center. The choir is comprised of singers, ages 10 and 14, and the group has been performing with Zim for several years.
Zim, a popular Master Cantor, composer, and songwriter, has been awarded a lifetime contract as Cantor at the Hollis Hills Jewish Center, and works as a Professor of Jewish Music and Associate Director of the Cantorial School at the Academy of Jewish Religion in Manhattan.
Zim has recorded over 25 records, CDs, and cassettes of Jewish and Pop music - from Yiddish to Israeli, from Chassidic to Broadway and Opera. In addition, he has published 13 books of original music.
The concert, which is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., is the Second Annual Memorial Concert held in honor of Holocaust survivors in the local community.
