International Recording Artist Neshama Carlebach to Perform with The Green Pastures Baptist Church Choir at The Parker Playhouse – January 31, 2012

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (January 19, 2012) – International recording artist Neshama Carlebach invites South Florida to a musically uplifting evening at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, starting at 8:00 pm.  The Green Pastures Baptist Church Choir, led by the Reverend Roger Hambrick joins this captivating and spiritual singer in a performance that is at once uplifting, inspiring and a celebration of her late father’s legacy, the incomparable Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.  

Neshama follows in her father’s footsteps hoping to continue his mission of spiritual unity and healing through her music.  He traveled the world spreading messages of love and peace and his life story is the inspiration behind the Broadway bound “Soul Doctor: Journey of A Rock-Star Rabbi” currently playing at the Parker Playhouse.

A portion of the proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Global Smile Foundation www.gsmile.org; through its outreach programs this organization alleviates the suffering of underserved patients born with facial congenital deformities with special emphasis on cleft lips and palates.

“My collaboration with Reverend Hambrick and The Green Pastures Baptist Church Choir is the ultimate manifestation of my father's dream for humanity,” says Neshama.  “Our work together has expanded my horizons and shown me that true spiritual unity is possible. We feel that music can help bring healing and beauty to our broken world.”

The concert appeals to people of all faiths, backgrounds and perspectives.  The powerful vocals and beautiful harmonies of the Green Pastures Baptist Church Choir complement Neshama’s deeply moving and entertaining style as she sings her father's melodies, and inspiring original compositions.
