The program will also feature a musical interlude by David C. Sloan, of Huntington Woods, a third generation Detroiter, past president of JGS of Michigan, member of Congregation Shir Tikvah and life-long singer/ guitarist, will perform songs of family and home.
David has performed his renditions of folk and traditional songs on North American stages, including Nashville for the US Army World War II Regimental Command Team, the DIA Auditorium and in the Pontiac Theater IV’s production of “Man of La Mancha.” As a classical choral singer he has sung with many choruses including the Detroit Symphony at their home venues and at the Meadowbrook Music Festival, the Oakland University-Community Chorus for 30 years and the North Arkansas Symphony Chorus. David incorporated his guitar, singing and love of family when he taught 3rd and 4th grade religious school at Temple Emanu-El.
For David, ”a day without music and song is a day without life.”
