WBJC Interview, Saturday, October 4, 2008

Emanuel C. Perlman, lyric tenor, is in his eleventh year as the Hazzan of Chizuk Amuno Congregation in Baltimore, Maryland.

He has concertized extensively throughout the United States. Larry King said that Perlman is “a combination Caruso and Mel Torme.” He earned a Bachelors Degree in Music and Voice from Rhode Island College and a Masters Degree in Psychiatric Social Work from Yeshiva University. Emanuel also attended the Cantors Institute at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Emanuel has studied voice with the eminent Dr. William Riley in New York City since 1998. He studied for voice and opera for ten years, with the late Kurt Baum known as the “generic tenor” of the Metropolitan Opera.

 

“Jewish music is linked with ancient tradition. Liturgical selections and Psalms recited during religious services have been traced to the days of the original Temple in Jerusalem. It is the role of the trained Hazzan to not only interpret the ancient words and imbue them with new life but to reach into the hearts of their congregants to “feel” the “newness” in words uttered by their ancestors.”
