FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Jerusalem, Israel) Mequon native Talia Lakritz, former NSAA Gleek Club member and singer/songwriter student of NSAA instructor Angela Mack is making a musical mark in Israel. After she graduated from high school, she decided to go oversees for a year and spend some time in Jerusalem. She has been involved with writing more music, winning awards and benefiting underprivileged women in Israel. We are very proud of her! Her singing group recently won FIRST PLACE in the KEDMA competition!
She writes Ms. Mack, “I’ve been involved in so many musical projects lately! I’ve written more songs since I’ve been here, and I won studio time in an auction that we had so I’ll be able to record some of them! And girl in my apartment plays guitar and writes her own songs, so we’ve been working on one together.
I also co-headed my school’s choir for an inter-seminary competition. The event was last night, and guess what? We won!! I wrote part of the song and helped compile the rest of it (we used a few existing tunes) and teach it so it was very validating. I attached a picture of us with our award. The performance was set in the times of the Holy Temple, with priests dancing the Temple service. I hope we can meet again when I come back in June! -Talia”
