BIO
​
The Manhattan Transfer has defied categories to win 10 Grammy Awards and sell millions of records worldwide. They continue to set the standards as one of the world’s most innovative vocal groups with their blend of pop, jazz, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, swing and a cappella. Founded by the late Tim Hauser in 1972, the group features Janis Siegel (alto), Alan Paul (tenor), Cheryl Bentyne (soprano), and newcomer Trist Curless (bass), who replaced Hauser following his passing in 2014. www.manhattantransfer.net
Simon Spiro is recognized worldwide as the most unique Cantor of this generation. He has also made a mark in the pop world singing with Elton John, Faith Hill, Phil Collins, Cliff Richard and others. Simon performs internationally and currently serves as spiritual leader of The Song Shul, Toronto’s newest and most exciting synagogue. He can also be seen weekly on Vision TV’s series Your All Time Classic Hit Parade.
Wendy Lands has been nominated for a JUNO Award, two Canadian Radio Music Awards, and The Cayle Chernin Award for Theatre Production.
