Description

JOSEPH SHLISKY (OSTROWCE, POLAND, 5 NOVEMBER, 1896 – NEW YORK, USA, 14 FEBRUARY, 1955)

 

 

 

 

He graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto in 1917 and debuted in New York City in 1919. For the next 20 years he held positions in leading New York synagogues and gave concerts throughout the nation. In 1940, at the height of his career, he was stricken with a paralytic stroke and never sang again. Shlisky died in New York in 1955. At one time in his career he was actually signed to appear with the San Carlo Opera Company in La Boheme, La Juive, and Tosca, but at the last minute passed up the opportunity because of his dedication to the cantorate.
