The North American Jewish Choral Festival

Held each summer annually since 1990, The North American Jewish Choral Festival is the premiere Jewish choral event anywhere. It brings together singers and choirs from across North America, with a renowned teaching staff, conductors, composers and other music professionals to sing, learn and share the joy of Jewish music. The Festival features five days of intensive workshops, study, performances, concerts, and fun and friendship. More than 500 participants take part in daily community sings and "instant ensembles," led by acclaimed conductors, which rehearse for four days and perform at a gala closing concert; evening concerts, feature outstanding vocal ensembles, choruses and soloists; workshops cover everything from vocal and conducting techniques to the history of Jewish music and ritual; and late night gatherings include Jewish music sing-alongs, videos and more. The Festival attracts amateur singers, professional soloists, cantors, conductors, and lovers of Jewish music from across the spectrum and denominations in an unforgettable experience.

We're excited to announce that this year's Festival will be held at a new location: the Hudson Valley Resort & Spa in Kerhonksen, NY! Join us July 11-15, 2004 at this beautiful new venue for an even more wonderful Choral Festival. More information on the Festival and registration will be available shortly.
