A Night of Music, Memories, and Milestones

Join KKBE for an unforgettable evening celebrating Rabbi Stephanie Alexander’s 15 years of visionary leadership as Senior Rabbi of KKBE! Back by popular demand after last year’s sold-out success, Jewish Composers & The Great American Songbook returns—bigger, brighter, and more dazzling than ever.

This sparkling Crystal Anniversary Soirée brings together the elegance of the Great American Songbook with the soul and brilliance of Jewish American composers who shaped Broadway, jazz, and pop music. From the timeless melodies of George Gershwin and Irving Berlin to the Broadway magic of Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein, you’ll experience the songs that defined generations—performed by members of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and a stellar lineup of local vocalists: Bates O’Neal • Mary Ott • Laura Owens • George Slotin
