Zamir News

Jewishchoralmusic.com, Zamir's free resource for choral leaders and conducting students, is being nationally recognized for filling a void during "social distancing". The enriched site provides a core online/podcast curriculum on the history of Jewish music, and lets them peruse compositions for days on end! See what ACDA has to say here.

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.
