The mighty West Los Angeles Children's Choir sang two songs at the annual Hollywood Bowl Easter Sunrise Service in front of an audience of way over a thousand. The choir introduced the crowd to "I Have A Dream/This Is Our Moment" and then premiered their newest offering, "A Song for Peace."

Miss Liberty's Musical Journey
Barbara Silberg (Mrs. Music) flew to Las Vegas on March 28, 2009 to see an Orff Elementary Music Festival presentation of "Miss Liberty's Musical Journey." An all- district choir comprised of 240 fifth graders from across the city sang classic American songs and for the finale performed Mrs. Silberg's Statue of Liberty song, "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor." The melody was set to Emma Lazarus' inscription on the statue and Mrs. Silberg was so honored to be in attendance to hear the song sung so beautifully.
Pictured here are Miss Liberty ( Elizabeth Welte) and her taxi cab driver, Tyler Gannon.
Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor
Mrs. Silberg, who set Emma Lazarus’ inscription on the Statue of Liberty to music, was given permission to have the song performed at the Statue on June 10,2006. A fund raising concert was held in Los Angeles to help members of the West L.A. Children’s Choir travel with their families to New York in order to sing the new patriotic song.
More than 200 children from Boys and Girls Clubs in New York and New Jersey joined the members of the W.L.A. Children's Choir in a one hour sing-along concert which culminated with the singing of Mrs. Silberg's new patriotic song called “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor.”
Contact Mrs. Silberg to learn how your school, scouting troop or other organization can also participate in a patriotic sing-along in your part of the country.
Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, which sets the inscription by Emma Lazarus to music, can be downloaded from this site. Practice tapes and song sheets featuring all the music for a patriotic sing-along are available by contacting Mrs. Silberg who will give you detailed information about staging such an event.

Starlight Foundation: Kids Sing Back-Up To Sasha Lazard!
Alexa, Eloise and LeAna all dressed up and ready to sing for the Starlight Foundation Gala, March 27, 2009.
Dear Barbara,
Thank you so much for everything you contributed to the Starlight song. I was so blown away by you and your choir. They could not have been more perfect. I was so impressed with their diligence, and how committed they were to the performance. They all sang like angels, and gave the song its soul. They also could not have been more adorable. Meeting them and you has been one of the highlights of this trip.
I am headed over to the Starlight offices this afternoon. We are going to talk about the plan for the song, and how to find a way to record your glorious children.
I will be in touch soon.
Thank you...for everything...
Sincerely,
Sasha
