Join us on Sunday, May 14, at 7:00 pm as Adas Yeshurun Herzlia presents ONE NIGHT IN MAY, a spring fun-raiser featuring popular Jewish and classical music performed by the WSO’s Sonia Shklarov on violin. Wine, schmoozing, a proper Winnipeg sweet table, and complimentary roses for all moms promise this will be an unforgettable event.

Sonia Shklarov was born in Moscow and spent her early childhood years in Israel on kibbutz. She began violin lessons at age eight when her family moved to Calgary. Her passion for violin and orchestral performance has taken her to New Zealand, Spain, and Portugal, and in 2012 she performed as concertmaster of the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Sonia received her Bachelor of Music degree from Lynn University in Florida, and a Master of Music degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh under the tutelage of Cyrus Forough. Sonia worked as a freelance violinist in Toronto and performed with the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra, Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra, Windsor Symphony, and Niagara Symphony from 2012 to 2016, when she moved to Winnipeg to join the first violin section of the WSO.

Sonia is proud to call Winnipeg home, and Adas Yeshurun Herzlia her shul. Adas Yeshurun Herzlia is Winnipeg’s only Modern Orthodox Shul, located in the heart of River Heights at the corner of Brock and Fleet.  Rabbi Yosef Benarroch leads the congregation, its two daily minyans, a thriving NCSY program - Winnipeg’s sole synagogue youth group, and supervises Winnipeg’s community kashrut.

Tickets are $25 and are available by calling the synagogue office at 204-489-6262. For more information about ONE NIGHT IN MAY, please contact Event Coordinators Lynne Kohm or Karla Berbrayer by leaving a message at the synagogue.
