EXPERIENCE
In June 2007, The Zemel Choir hosted a mass celebration of
mixed-voice Jewish choral music,
entitled 'Celebrate with Song
'

This culminated in a concert at
St John’s, Smith Square,
and featured performances
by choristers of all ages and varied ability.

The success of the event has spurred
us on to hold another, in June 2008.

Would you like to sing with us at this fabulous celebration of choral music?

This year we will be singing Jewish music spanning ten centuries,
from early Hebrew plainsong
to Baroque cantatas, and much more.

Come and experience the joy of
Jewish choral music for yourself.
