David Felberg, an Albuquerque native, violinist and conductor, is artistic director of Chatter / Ensemble Music New Mexico and co-founder of EMNM’s 3 series: Chatter Sunday, Chatter Cabaret, Chatter 20-21.

He is amazing. He understands the tone of the Selichot musical program - contemplative, introspective, meditative, inspirational.  We are so fortunate to have this great violinist play during our Selichot program.

a special musical program with us to help us all get in a special mood
for the High Holy Days.
