An expanding group of choirs across North America that offers those who love to sing the opportunity to join together a rich repertoire of Jewish choral music past and present. Under Zamir's guidance and encouragement, many new choirs have formed in communities across North America and Europe.
Bringing together scholars, teachers, performers, practitioners and enthusiasts to learn and perform with the highest standards for repertoire and performance. Through concerts, conferences, workshops, publishing and the exchange of information, Zamir is expanding the body of knowledge about Jewish choral music and introducing generations, new and old, to the vital role of Jewish choral music in our culture.
Helping bring about a rebirth of Jewish choral music. Zamir has worked to rediscover and promote the music of our past. And, through the Jeanne R. Mandell Endowment , we have fostered a generation of new composers and works to extend and expand that centuries-old tradition. In addition, the Foundation's network of choirs has commissioned exciting new compositions that add to the repertoire, and they have become the vehicles fir the performance of this new body of music.
