Abraham J. Sivowitz of New York City has been engaged by the Conservative Synagogue as cantor for the ensuing year, according to an a nouncement made-today by J. Harry Kulakofsky, president of the:: congregation. The new cantor will,.assume his duties in the fall. ; Cantor Sivowitz, "who is a graduate of New York University, is a wellschooled concert singer. He served from early childhood an apprenticeship with European and American cantors of renown, and studied for five years with such celebrities as Frank Rogers of the Juillard Foundation and Professor Luckstone of New York University, and many others. He commands an extensive vocal repertoire in six languages. The Conservative Synagogue's new cantor has for five years been chief cantor of the Jewish Center of King's Highway, New York. Last year he officiated at the Kenesseth Israel synagogue, the largest congregation in Kansas City. In commenting on the new cantor Rabbi Goldstein was enthusiastic "The Conservative Synagogue has acquired a musical gem in the person of Cantor Sivowitz. Possessed of a rich, sonorous and beautiful tenor voice, he comes from a family of cantors and musicians and grew up in the best traditions of Jewish music. „ His cantorial chant gives a most appealing and exacting artistic inter-, pretation.of the inspiring traditional melodies "of the Jewish Liturgy." The Congregation is entering upon plans for a rather extensive series of musical activities in connection with the synagogue. A choir will be trained later on. _.
