Can San Diego have its own unique Jewish music? Nusach San Diego is a musical evening rooted in Rabbi Cantor Jeremy Gimbel’s original research on the unique sound of prayer in San Diego. This evening traces the historical progression of Jewish sacred music from ancient melodies to modern chazzanut, and it will span the breadth of our local musical landscape—from Kumeyaay Bird Songs to rhythmic Baja Californian beats, to laid-back surfer grooves. This program will explore the music and sounds of this community, culminating in the performance of original compositions inspired by the evening's themes.
Nusach San Diego offers old tunes and new prayers, all rooted in home.
