Qualified candidates should send email to arrange for an audition appointment. We are a semi-professional ensemble of approximately 50 men and women of all ages who enjoy the art of choral singing and the many melodies of the Jewish heritage. Our repertoire includes significant compositions by contemporary Israeli composers, Jewish liturgical music of four centuries, and Israeli, Yiddish and Ladino folksongs. There are also local and regional run-out concerts. Also, all members are expected to help with general chorus activities, from setting up chairs at rehearsal to posting concert flyers and soliciting donations.
Subsidies are available for any member with a financial hardship.
But all chores aside, our main activity is discovering and performing a great variety of music. Our conductor, Joshua Jacobson , was one of the chorus's founders in 1969. In addition to his activities with Zamir, Prof. Jacobson is Professor of Music, Director of Choral Activities, and the Stotsky Professor of Jewish Studies at Northeastern University, and Adjunct Professor of Jewish Music at Hebrew College. Although the Zamir Chorale specializes in Jewish music and does not engage in any activities that would violate traditional Jewish law, we are a non-discriminatory organization and welcome people of all faiths to join in our activities. If you enjoy the stimulation and satisfaction of making beautiful music in an ensemble, if you are interested in the music of the Jewish people, if you are a qualified choral singer, and if you can make a serious commitment, we would enjoy having you in our organization.
