A concert at Belsize Square Synagogue to celebrate the 90th birthday of Dudley Cohen, the choir’s founder.

It was a most enjoyable event, conducted by Benjamin Wolf and accompanied by Franklyn Gellnick on piano, organ and bass guitar!
We sang a wide selection of repertoire, most of which had been composed or arranged by Dudley, some of which he himself conducted last night, with his wife, former chorister Joan, joining us for some of the pieces and with one of their grandsons, Sam Scheer, also conducting one of Dudley’s pieces.

The concert’s encore was a rousing rendition of everyone singing Dudley ‘Happy Birthday’.
