Join us!
Did you sing in the Zamir Chorale of Boston any time between 1969 and last year? If so, join our online alumni committee so we can reconnect. Let’s reminisce, find out what everyone is doing (musically and personally), learn about Zamir happenings and be supportive of this great choir which — for many of us — provided a wonderful social, Jewish, musical outlet. Chaired by Cantor Riki Lippitz, the committee is dedicated to reaching out to alumni, raising funds for the chorus, bringing alums together for music and socializing, and generally keeping the Zamir spark alive for hundreds of former singers.
Thanks to our alumni, friends, and various grant organizations, Zamir has had another successful season. But, as you know, revenue from ticket sales represents only a small portion of our budget and your on-going support is very much appreciated. Keep in touch, tell us what’s going on, and above all, keep singing. P.S. Don’t forget to “like” and check the Zamir Facebook page!
