Zamir Choral Foundation’s holiday concert, Celebrating Hanukkah: Jewish Independence, Resilience and Hope, is set for Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. at Merkin Hall in New York City.
Inspiring music will be performed by the Zamir Chorale, the premier Hebrew-singing choir in North America, and Zamir Noded, the Jewish choir for young professionals, and conducted by Maestro Matthew Lazar, the leading force of the Jewish choral movement.
“Choral music expresses a range of emotions and has a healing effect across all cultures,” says Matthew Lazar, founder and director of Zamir Choral Foundation. “This concert is a vehicle to bring joy, hope and a sense of community as we celebrate Hanukkah.”
The program includes traditional and contemporary repertoire by Israeli and American composers that uplifts, consoles and inspires.
