     Welcome!

Rick is an established folk musician and cantorial soloist who turned his talents to composing modern settings for Jewish liturgical text in 1997.  His compositions and performances reveal his dual musical roots of folk/rock and choral work.  His music caught the attention of renowned producer Fran Avni in 1998, leading to his Journeys CD recording project. 

Rick’s debut CD, Journeys, released in October, 2000, is an inspirational collection of original, contemporary settings for familiar blessings, Sabbath liturgy, and ethical writings.  Rick’s Yism’chu was selected for inclusion in Celebrate Shabbat, a collection of exemplary Shabbat music produced by noted contemporary composer / performer / producer Craig Taubman.  His original melody for the Shehecheyanu was selected for use at the 2001 Ordination ceremony for cantors and rabbis at Hebrew Union College in New York.  Rick has performed extensively in the New York / New Jersey / Connecticut area and has a growing national reputation.
