Registration is Open for the 2024 Jewish Choral Festival Where Singing Takes Center Stage
“The Festival is for anyone who wants to experience the joy of Jewish music,” says Matthew Lazar, Festival Founder and Director. “The participants are multi-generational and include amateur singers, professionals, cantors, conductors, and lovers of Jewish
The 35th annual event will be held from July 14-18, 2024, in Westchester County, New York. Registration is now open, with an early bird discount available through May 1. Festival participants enjoy a variety of uplifting Jewish musical experiences. These include daily community sings; workshops and seminars on a wide range of topics; and evening concerts featuring guest choirs and outstanding performers.
"I have been attending the North American Jewish Choral Festival since 2002. It's one of the highlights of my year and a great opportunity to participate and to be inspired by all of the music going on around you," comments Steve Cohen of New York. "I particularly enjoy the instant ensembles, where all festival singers learn and rehearse a musical program which is presented at the end of the Festival. I am always amazed at what can be accomplished in a few days. It is a testament to the power of a group dedicated to a goal, with every individual blending into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts."
New for 2024, NAJCF is offering a "Boot Camp" for beginning choral singers and those needing to brush up their skills. This special track will help participants learn to follow a score, understand rhythm, blend with others and more.
Each year, the Festival presents the Hallel V'Zimrah Award to honor individuals who have made important contributions to the world of Jewish music. This year's honoree is Jack Mendelson, world-renowned cantor and international performer, who is being recognized for his artistry as well as his devotion to the choral music of the synagogue.
According to Barry Brian of California, "The Festival represents my five favorite days of the year. I connect to my Jewish heritage through music and form an emotional bond with hundreds of people to create glorious sound."
"The Festival is an uplifting experience for people of all denominations who have Jewish connections to come together through their love of music," adds Sharon Greene of Florida.
"Whether you're a novice or a pro, you'll leave with new skills, new music and new friends to cherish from this unique and unforgettable Choral Festival," concludes Maestro Lazar. Program fees for the 5-day Festival including kosher meals are $1295 (early bird price $1195 through May 1st). Young people up to age 35 can participate for a price of $900 including hotel accommodation. The North American Jewish Choral Festival is a program of the Zamir Choral Foundation.

Spring in Vienna, royal chaos and a jewish preacher
The project “Royal Chaos” departs from the Gestalt psychological term “supersummativity”, which is, the concept that the total is more than the sum of its parts. Cognition and perception are based on complex relationships that are impossible to explain just by analyzing individual parts. By weaving different layers of images together, the project creates a multi-dimensional experience through moving form and color that allows the pictures to come alive. Thus,…
