A Rare Treat: Helzner Sisters Join in Song at Cantor's Concert

Sisters Rochelle and Robyn Helzner first performed together in public as elementary school kids, but their joint singing engagements in the many years since have been uncommon affairs.

That makes the 2007 Cantor's Concert at Tikvat Israel a rare treat - a chance to hear two lovely voices in harmony on the songs of the season, as well as a few surprises. This year's event, dubbed "A Helzner Happening: A Concert for Families" takes shape at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2 at the synagogue's social hall.
