The Zamir Sings for Israel performance features the Zamir Chorale, the premier Hebrew singing choir in North America and Zamir Noded, the inspiring Jewish choir for young professionals, and is conducted by Maestro Matthew Lazar, the leading force of the Jewish choral movement. It evokes solidarity, rededication and resolve, including works by American and Israeli composers David Burger, Gerald Cohen, Steve Cohen, Yonatan Razel, and Naomi Shemer.
HaZamir Israel is part of HaZamir: The International Jewish Teen Choir, with 38 chapters across the U.S. and Israel. HaZamir was created as a platform for talented teens to sing great Jewish music at the highest standard of excellence. For 30 years, HaZamir has served as a training ground for a new generation of singers, conductors, composers and leaders, investing in young people so that they have a deeper understanding of the values, traditions and glory of Judaism and artistic expression.
“In the midst of the chaos, emotional hardship and economic distress that Israeli teens are experiencing, HaZamir offers a constant and welcoming community in which to express Jewish identity through a choral community of likeminded peers,” adds Vivian Lazar, Director of HaZamir: The International Jewish Teen Choir. “We want our HaZamir Israel singers to know they are not alone or forgotten. This uplifting concert sends a message of support and belief that we are one people with one heart.”
