"Dear Colleagues
I just had such a wonderful experience that I had to share it with you. I had hired Naomi Miller in the past to perform her show, “Amerike Hurrah – A Tribute to Jewish American Songwriters” for an adult education series. It was so well received that I hired her again to perform the show for our Renaissance Club. And then I had another idea. I wanted our Hebrew School students to hear about the contributions Jews have made to the American music so I hired Naomi a third time to perform the show for them.
The students were absolutely mesmerized – and so were their parents who were invited to share the experience. Naomi and her husband, Harvey, had transformed the adult version of the show into one that truly related to the students. Naomi’s beautiful voice and great songs were accompanied by an informative and very entertaining narration, given by Harvey. Janet Sosinsky’s piano accompaniment was absolutely brilliant and her husband, Manny, added to the joy with some violin embellishments. As a backdrop to all of this was a unique and creative Power Point presentation that was as beautiful to watch as it was educational. Check out her website: www.naomimiller.com.
What a wonderful way for our students to learn about the contributions of Jewish composers to American culture and how Yiddish theatre and American patriotism influenced their work. I heartily recommend this show."

If Concordia's Shalom Club said "WOW!" in every language, people would immediately know we saw Naomi Miller's amazing show From Klezmer to Broadway. Thank you so much for making our inaugural event a huge success. Your warmth, your presence and program brought electricity into the room. Your beautiful voice and connection with the audience was amazing as you took us through Jewish tradition and culture. And your love of weaving Broadway into the program in other languages was wonderful. It was indeed a memorable performance and we look forward to our next Naomi Miller event... Can't wait to have you back. Stefanie Sparber, President
