From our Director

Welcome to the Kol Arts 2022/23 Season! With our “new normal”, flexibility is the key to a successful year. To that end, Kol Arts will offer in person and on-line classes (or a mix) as preferred. Start dates are flexible and custom programming is also available upon request. Enroll for six private lessons or register for the full semester and receive a discount.

As a performing violist and teaching artist, creating community through the arts has always been my greatest passion. I cherish friendships that grow as artistry develops and lifelong connections flourish. Kol Arts is about enriching lives through music and art, discovering and nurturing talents, and blending individuality with community. Selected from the broad spectrum of artists in the metropolitan area, the collective talents of the Kol Arts faculty inspire creativity and cultivate collaborations between genres.

What remains unchanged in our lives is the need to nurture and share our love of music and arts. Please take a moment to explore the Kol Arts website and join us for our innovative programming.

Thank you again to Jessica Lorden, Executive Director; the Board of Directors of Congregation Kol Ami; and Cantor Danny Mendelson, for their continuing support for this unique opportunity to blend music and arts with the vibrant culture at the temple.

Contact me soon at kolarts@nykolami.org to reserve your lesson time. See you in September!

L’Shana Tova,
Naomi Graf, Director of Kol Arts
