Auditions

Chorale

Auditions for the Zamir Chorale of Boston’s 2022-23 season have concluded.

Check back with us in September 2023 for the 2023-24 season. Thank you!

Auditions are by appointment only and must be scheduled in advance by emailing manager@zamir.org. When you write, please provide your voice part, proof of full COVID vaccination* (scanned copy of card), and the best phone number to reach you.

Also, all singers are required to wear a mask to rehearsal and the audition. We recommend KN95 or N95, covering nose and mouth. 

Candidates should have excellent vocal quality, the ability to sight-read music, and previous choral experience.

Rehearsals throughout the year are generally held on Tuesdays, from September to early June, at Temple Reyim, 1860 Washington St., Newton, from 7:15 to 10:00 pm.

 *A Note About COVID-19 Safety Guidelines: All choir members need to be fully vaccinated consistent with CDC age-appropriate guidelines to include at least one booster, and preferably two boosters for those in high-risk categories. Additional vaccinations may be required based on evolving CDC recommendations. Further details will be provided upon acceptance into the Chorale.

The Zamir Chorale of Boston, under the direction of founder and Artistic Director Joshua Jacobson, performs concerts in the Greater-Boston area and throughout the Northeast. A typical season comprises 10-15 performances. This season’s repertoire includes a concert of “Halleluyah” and a celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of Salamone Rossi’s “Ha-shirim Asher Lishlomo.”

The 60-member adult chorale, dubbed a “virtuoso outfit” by the Boston Globe and recognized by American Record Guide as “America’s foremost Jewish choral ensemble,” has remained committed to the highest quality performance of music spanning thousands of years, four continents, and a variety of styles, both popular and classical.

The Zamir Chorale performs throughout the United States, and has also toured Europe and Israel, appearing with the Jerusalem Symphony and Israel Philharmonic Orchestras under Zubin Mehta and Daniel Barenboim. Zamir was featured at the United Nations for the first universal observance of the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and appeared at the Democratic National Convention. Zamir currently has over 20 recordings on the HaZamir label, ranging from Baroque masterworks to seasonal celebrations.

Non-discrimination Policy

The Zamir Chorale of Boston is a non-discriminatory organization, and welcomes singers of all faiths. We believe that music should unite people and bring about “Tikkun Olam” (healing the world); therefore membership in the Chorale is open to qualified singers without regard to religion, creed, race, age, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability.

Zamir is pleased to partner with the Mass Cultural Council, Department of Transitional Assistance, WIC Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector to offer the Card to Culture program, the most comprehensive effort of its kind in the nation to open doors to arts and culture experiences for low-income families.

Card to Culture lets EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare card holders purchase free tickets to Zamir-sponsored public events. Just contact manager@Zamir.org if you're interested.

This Arts Access program is not funded by MCC, MDTA, or taxpayers.
