Performing professionally as a singer, songwriter, and pianist for over 30 years,
Richard Kaplan is a Cantor, teacher, ethnomusicologist and choral conductor.

His extensive concert repertoire of Jewish World Music includes songs from Ashkenazic (European), Mizrachi (Middle Eastern), and Sephardic (Spanish/Andalusian) traditions,
as well as original pieces, often based on ancient melodies and texts.

Richard tours nationally and internationally giving workshops where participants can experientially explore masterpieces of Jewish World Sacred Music.

"It is my fervent hope that these musical offerings, whether in concert,
workshop, or ritual setting, will be joyous and contemplative
experiences that will inspire an appreciation of and a desire
to delve deeper into our magnificent Jewish heritage -
the sacred and secular, mystical and prophetic,
Ashkenazic, Mizrachi, and Sephardic."
