Martin Goldstein continues a long family tradition of

performed as alto soloist at Grossinger's Hotel with Hazzan
Moshe Ganchoff and the Samuel Sterner choir and at age
seven debuted in the last Yiddish production on 2nd Avenue,
Dos Pintele Yid. Cantor Goldstein began his cantorial
career at 19, at "Century Village," Deerfield
Beach, FL. He then served as full-time hazzan in
Hauppauge, NY (Temple Beth Chai) and Dobbs Ferry, NY (Greenburgh
Hebrew Center). In 1993, he and his wife Beth returned
to Colorado where he is Hazzan of the Hebrew Educational
Alliance in Denver. Although he began his professional
singing career as a Cantor, he is also classically trained
in both Lieder and Art Song. He has performed numerous
Classical and Cantorial concerts in Denver, nationwide and
in Israel, both individually and with his siblings Cantor
Adam and Amy Goldstein, and mother
