Halevi presents the premiere performances of many new works and commissions original compositions from leading contemporary composers. Jewish music is the expression of the life and times of the Jewish people. It celebrates our triumphs and our joys. It remembers our sorrows and our pain. It documents our lives throughout our long history as we dwelt in many lands.
Jewish music is as diverse as the Jewish people itself.
And yet, it is that diversity which unites us as Jews celebrating our culture. We have absorbed the language and the customs of the society around us wherever we have lived. But we have also retained the rich traditions which have made our people unique. Halevi's mission is to keep alive for all time the magnificent heritage of Jewish music at the highest artistic level. Our repertoire includes Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino, Cantorial, Liturgical, Israeli and Folk selections.
