Montreal's Jewish Music Festival

Gideon Zelermyer is the cantor at the Shaar Hashomayim synagogue in Westmount. His voice has a lot of gravitas, so you might be surprised to learn that Gideon is only 35 years old, and the first album he ever bought was Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Gideon will be singing with the Shaar Hashomayim men's choir on Wednesday night as part of the second-annual Montreal Jewish Music Festival.

He spoke with guest host Geeta Nadkarni.
