As part of In Conversation, a series of monthly family-friendly Havdalah evenings, on December 10, Finchley Progressive Synagogue (FPS) will present a unique programme featuring the Symphonova Orchestra and its conductor and inventor Shelley Katz.

Led by Rabbi Rebecca Birk, the evening will combine a Havdalah service with music and reflection on the question ‘can technology and spirituality meet?’

Abigail Dolan, who is helping to organise the event, said: “This orchestra is unlike any you have ever heard. A full symphonic experience is created by just the small group of soloists on stage. They are augmented by virtual instruments whose dynamics, speed and playing style are controlled by the conductor.”

Tickets cost £15 and early booking is advised from www.symphonova.com
