Ephros, Gershon
Gershon Ephros was born in Serotsk, Poland in 1890 and was raised with his stepfather, Cantor Moses Fromberg. He received his first musical training and exerience by singing in Fromberg's choir. By the age of seventeen, he was conducting his own choir in Zgersh. In 1909 he left for Palestine and pursued his studies in hazzanut and harmony with Abraham Zvi Idelsohn, whom he served as choir director. He emigrated to the United States in 1911, where he continued his musical studies and his cantorial career began when he was appointed cantor of Congregation Beth-El in Norfolk, Virginia in 1918. He went on to serve congregations in the Bronx and Perth Amboy, New Jersey. He taught Jewish music in Hebrew schools and served as a member of the faculty of the Hebrew Union College School of Sacred Music. His Cantorial Anthology, the first of its kind in Jewish muisc, made materials available for the entire yearly cycle that had been unobtainable or had never before been in print.
