Four Los Angeles-area cantors will be featured at the March MidDay at Grace Concert on Thursday, March 14 at noon. Cantors Jay Frailich, Lonee Frailich, Bryce Megdal and Rebekah Mirsky will perform an eclectic mix of original compositions, Jewish music, and Broadway favorites.

He is now the emeritus cantor there and teaches at the Academy of Jewish Religion. Cantor Lonee Frailich, who followed in her father's footsteps, was ordained in 2011 and is the cantor at Temple Akiba of Culver City. Cantor Bryce Megdal, a gifted composer whose compositions have been shared in many synagogues, is in her last year of cantorial school and will be ordained in May. Cantor Rebekah Mirsky is a prolific composer and founding cantor at Beit T’shuvah. She was ordained in 2010 and now works at the Santa Monica Synagogue and B’nai Horin. They will be accompanied by Mary Lou Basaraba, Grace Church Director of Music Ministries.
