Combining film with a live musical performance by a string quartet, “Songs of the Inspired Soul” tells the story of the Hassidic melodies taught by the Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. The event will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Rebbe’s passing. Though he is known more for his written and spoken output, of which hundreds of volumes have been published, the Rebbe also left a musical legacy of Hassidic melodies. He taught these melodies to his followers on the holiday of Simchat Torah, well after midnight, after many hours of the Hakafot, the spirited dancing with the Torah.

Six of these melodies will be brought to life in arrangements by Maestro Israel Edelson and a performance by St. Louis’ Zafirah String Quartet, an acclaimed local musical group. Each of the melodies will be introduced by a short narrated film. An original production by Yuvla Media, this concert is a powerful experience in which words and melody mix, so that one can hear the music within the story and the story within the music.

Tickets: $18
