About Cantor Linda Hirschhorn

I have been performing creative customized wedding ceremonies since 1989. My parallel careers as a cantor, marriage counselor, songwriter, musical director, and performer not only give me all the skills necessary to plan and perform your wedding, but give me a uniquely all-embracing viewpoint of all the elements that go into a wedding to ensure that your ceremony will be both successful and truly extraordinary.

I have been working as a cantor for over 25 years and have held my current position at Temple Beth Sholom in San Leandro for 17 years, where in addition to my regular cantorial duties, I train bar- and bat-mitzvah students and conduct the chorus and orchestra, for which I also compose and arrange music.

Through my practice as a marriage and family counselor in California since 1974, I have acquired a wealth of experience which has often proved invaluable in dealing with any premarital issues that may arise during the planning of wedding ceremonies.

In addition, I direct the internationally renowned women's a cappella quintet Vocolot and have a long career as a singer-songwriter. To date, I have released seven recordings and two songbooks of original compositions and arrangements.
