In the jewish religion music plays a very Important Role in the synagogue indeed the council leads people in prayer in religious services and in the past always men but no longer and the 1st female to train for the role here in europe was sofia fog of it shell be my guest in just a moment after this. Call who. Lives with her family in paris but shes frequently on the move visiting different synagogues to help lead prayers this time shes headed to the country where she grew up to germany. Should be paying a special visit to the Jewish Community in the city of freiburg. Talk of each new from a young age that she wanted to be a cantor. Ruth. Are the. Wrong. Women are not usually allowed to lead song for prayer in orthodox synagogue such as this one. Female cantors are accepted in more liberal communities but here shes only allowed to lead prayer at a special service for women normally men and women here pray separately with the women in the back. Unit is the communitys official counter. Who. Says the voice of a woman could distract men and prevent them from concentrating on their prayers. Did hear the beauty of the womans voice and perhaps see her beauty and they wouldnt see god. For now virtue is one of the very few female characters here in europe something she hopes will change. Which joins me live in the studio now while. The 1st female trained in europe so how did you go about becoming more actually how did you manage that. In 1st place i had a strong feeling i could contribute and innovates this music style and. My life has led me to. Study through the music i was attracted to this music to the art form come to arts and. This is how i came into this direction into this career path but how did you get someone to teach well i was trained at a college where it was allowed for the only college in europe where its possible for women to have a Training Like this and it opened up it opened its door for a can control training actually when when it was possible when i started studying the 1st time and i could do also a part of the training in jerusalem in israel. Possible how do you feel when someone says like we saw in that report a woman singing would distract men from the press as. This is often every action they give this i could say if you were beer it distracts me from prayers should i not listen to your voice you know i mean i often get obviously various reactions and some very strong reactions about the calm before the prayers and before the concerts after we talk about completely different topics. This is a cliche. For many people the jewish music the way you hear is more are you think its sounds to me as though its nearly always in the minor key is it well it is kind of a cliche and to some extent these are very ancient prayers these are the music was written at a time where people had time to reflect and there was time for introspection and introspection which modern society that is very fast moving and could benefit from i think. Joy and tragic events always went hand in hand and this is very reflective in the music obviously well let me let me do this let me give you an example. Im sure you know this so lets try something like. Im going into the improvisation right now no. Who and im staying still in the same moment of. Oh so those very george joyful go you for points so its no but. It is often minor thirds i hear it as abuses but it changes a lot it goes from agents of mind it has there is specific no its that very different interest music. Now does it differ as well to sing in normal Classical Music i mean it is a different because you do that as well and it was a different style up and i think its a completely different approach and a different style and text its very important the music underlines the text ok now most always in Classical Music the music is more in the foreground street strew in the text is more important yeah ok now more of this beautiful distinctive voice can be heard on your latest cd which in english is called the voice of sacred heritage its all jewish music on that yeah yeah its just a company by the organ wonderful.
