To Bigotry No Sanction
a magnificent musical work based on George Washington’s historic Letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island

Composed by Cantor Jonathan Comisar
Comisar’s stunning new cantata embodies touchstones of Jewish and American music in an orchestral/choral setting. This professional performance conducted by Kensho Watanbe features members of The Philadelphia Orchestra and a multicultural choir representing 17 languages.

The program includes introductory readings by renowned historical interpretive actor Dean Malissa as “George Washington” and a post-performance discussion with Jonathan Comisar and Keneseth Israel Rabbi Lance J. Sussman, PhD, a professor of American Jewish History, moderated by Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Sam Katz of History Making Productions.

This is a free, prerecorded event, no registration required.
