Audio: Hazzan Eugene Goldberger sings « A Prayer, » a song in Yiddish.
Hazzan Eugene Goldberger was born in former Czechoslovakia, the descendant of five generations of cantors. He trained at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Vienna, and later in Milan. Goldberger performed as a concert musician in Austria, the former Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Denmark. In Copenhagen, he was a soloist of the reputed Tivoli Concert Hall Orchestra.
From Copenhagen, Goldberger immigrated to Montreal in 1946 to become the cantor at the Adath Israel Congregation. He held this position throughout the congregation’s most thriving years until 1965 when he left for Israel. In 1968, he moved to the United States and became cantor at Tifereth Israel Synagogue in San Diego, California. He passed away in Israel.
