Western Marble Arch Synagogue
Simon Cohen is an exceptional, world-class Chazan. But that is only the beginning. His natural tenor, both in power and in controlled nuance, articulated the phrases and deep ideas embedded in our treasured liturgy. On other occasions, his adaptations of modern classics have brought a fresh vision and vitality to our synagogue services at Western Marble Arch Synagogue. Beyond all these descriptions, what sets Simon apart is his sensitivity and connection with the congregation. Whether he is inviting congregational participation, or setting a mood, he is acutely aware of his audience at all times. The result is a choral experience that inspires and uplifts and connects us to our community and our traditions at the same time.
Composer - Lyricist - Librettist
“Simon Cohen fills every corner of the room with his voice and his big heart. The music he creates is as moving as it is powerful.”
