The aim of the B'nai B'rith Jewish Music Festival is to bring the great heritage and legacy of Jewish Music before an interested Jewish and non-Jewish public, to preserve this great heritage and teach it to future generations. The B'nai B'rith Jewish Music Festival takes place every two year, lasts one month and features concerts, recitals, workshops, lectures, theatre performances, exhibitions and films, covering all aspects of Jewish Music.
Performers are from both the UK and abroad.
The festival was established in 1984. Since then, the Jewish Music Heritage Trust, which organises the Festival, has created B'nai B'rith Recordings which now has the name of Jewish Music Heritage Recordings. This has established a full-time teaching post in Jewish Music at City University, London and has commissioned several new works on Jewish themes. The Festivals have also given the first performances of many works of Jewish significance, both in this country and abroad. The last festival was be held in November 1998.
