While You’re Home…

Zamir has always been about community. A community of expression. A community of exploration. A community of tradition and innovation. And while we cannot see you in concert, we will bring you music videos and programs that we hope will bring you some relief and perhaps even joy.

We are now posting weekly messages with music that will “delight the soul.” We also are featuring monthly "Zoominars" on various musical topics taught by members of the Zamir musical staff. These one-hour sessions will be held Tuesday evenings at 7:30 PM on Dec. 8, 2020; Jan. 5, 2021; Feb. 2; March 2, April 6, and May 4. Topics TBA. You'll need to sign up for Zamir's email list so that you can register in order to receive the link.
