Founded in 1969, the Zamir Chorale of Boston serves as a musical and educational organization dedicated to raising awareness of the breadth and beauty of Jewish culture through performances, recordings, symposia, and musical commissions. Led by founder and artistic director Joshua Jacobson, the Chorale comprises 50 experienced volunteer singers who perform music spanning thousands of years, four continents, and a variety of styles, both classical and popular. Concerts can be designed to meet the special requirements of diverse audiences and always include an educational component.
The Zamir Chorale of Boston is choir-in-residence at Hebrew College, and is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and by Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
