Zamir has always been about community. A community of expression. A community of exploration. A community of tradition and innovation.

So it is particularly painful for us at this time to be unable to come together physically, to be together with one other in rehearsals and to be as one with our audiences.

We can't do without music in our lives. We crave the harmony, especially in a time of so much dissonance. Music has been called "the medicine of the mind." Art has been called "the triumph over chaos." So make some time each day to sing, to play an instrument, to listen to a recording, or to watch an on-line concert.

We are now posting weekly messages with music that will “delight the soul.” While we cannot see you in concert, we hope that these music videos will bring you some relief and perhaps even joy.

WATCH "Kolot Nashim: Jewish Music by Women Conductors,"a year-long program celebrating the many roles of women in Jewish music. The first major production was streamed on YouTube Premiere on November 17, 2020. It featured Artistic Director Josh Jacobson and Zamir alumna Lidiya Yankovskaya as co-hosts, interviews with composers Nurit Hirsh, Alice Parker and Meira Warshauer with video performances of their works, including the world premiere virtual performance of Warshauer’s “Place These Words.” Part two will be streamed on May 25, 2021.
