About UsPurchase the CDAudition InformationCalendar of EventsNewsSupportContact UsHome
Welcome!

Zemer Chai, "living song," is a choir of 30 singers dedicated to sharing the rich and diverse musical heritage of the Jewish people. Founded in 1976 by conductor and artistic director Eleanor Epstein, the choir sings the full range of the Jewish repertoire: the beautiful late Renaissance compositions of Salomone Rossi, the great European liturgical classics of the 19th century, the works of the great modern Jewish composers, the ever-growing and exciting work of Israeli composers, as well as Jewish folk music from all over the world. In addition to preserving and promoting the wonderful music of the past, the choir also commissions new works to add to the Jewish choral repertoire.  Learn More About Us
