“Music is a universal language and the window that leads to the soul,” says Cantor Nathan Lam of Los Angeles’ Stephen S. Wise Temple. “’100 Voices’ opens those windows and touches many souls. The enormous response we’ve received gives proof to the healing power that this film represents.”
The encore Fathom event will feature an exclusive, specially-produced piece by the Milken Archive of Jewish Music: The American Experience. Memories of the American Yiddish Theater showcases the actors and musicians of New York City’s legendary Second Avenue that made three generations of European immigrants laugh, cry and exit the theater humming exquisite and timeless melodies. The top vocal talent from the world of modern Jewish music recreates these songs in both the recording studio and in a thrilling, one-night-only performance at Walt Disney Concert hall in Los Angeles.
Directed by Danny Gold and Matthew Asner, 100 Voices: A Journey Home is a celebration of song, faith and tradition. This encore event offers a unique and moving look at the intertwined Polish and Jewish history and culture through the eyes and music of some of the world’s finest Jewish cantors.
Critics were unanimous in their praise of 100 Voices: A Journey Home, with the Los Angeles Times calling the documentary “A profound expression of the healing power of music…deeply affecting. Glorious simply as a concert film but immeasurably more.” The New York Times wrote “The film’s strength lies precisely in the voices of its cantors…excellent and moving raconteurs.”
100 Voices: A Journey Home will encore in select U.S. movie theaters, including AMC Entertainment Inc., Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Clearview Cinemas, National Amusements and Regal Entertainment Group movie theaters, through NCM’s exclusive Digital Broadcast Network – North America’s largest cinema broadcast network.
