Founded in 1969, the Zamir Chorale of Boston’s mission is
to serve as “a musical and educational organization dedicated to raising
awareness of the breadth and beauty of Jewish culture through
performances, recordings, symposia, publications, and musical
commissions.” Led by Founder and Artistic Director Joshua Jacobson, the
Chorale comprises more than 45 experienced volunteer singers who perform
music spanning thousands of years, four continents, and a variety of
styles, both classical and popular. Zamir’s repertoire includes Jewish
liturgical pieces, major classical works, music of the Holocaust, newly
commissioned compositions, and Israeli, Yiddish, and Ladino folksongs.
Zamir’s music is enjoyed by people of all ages, religions and races.
Concerts can be designed to meet the special requirements and always
provide an educational component.
