One Night ~ Three Choirs
On May 9th 2004, three leading London Jewish choirs, Kol Rina, Alyth
Choral Society and The Topaz Singers, joined together to create a
unique night of song. The concert was held in aid of the outreach programme
at Kibbutz Eshbal, which helps disadvantaged teenagers from all walks of life
and all ethnic backgrounds in Israel. The choirs performed to a packed audience
in Alyth Gardens Synagogue on the night of Lag Ba'omer.
