Welcome

The Zamir Choral Foundation, created by Matthew Lazar, promotes Jewish choral music as a vehicle to inspire Jewish life, culture and continuity. Building on the success of the Zamir Chorale, the first modern Hebrew-singing chorus in North America, Mr. Lazar sought an expansive vision that went beyond the activities of any single choir - one that fostered Jewish identity across generational and denominational lines. Today, through extensive programming, education, sponsorships and special events, the Zamir Choral Foundation is at the core of an ever-growing network of Jewish choirs, singers and music which has helped create the only Foundation of its kind devoted to Jewish choral music. The Zamir Choral Foundation is creating a new world of Jewish music, musicians and culture for today and the future. 

• Unifying and training the leaders and singers of the Jewish choral movement
• Fostering Jewish commitment through Jewish choral singing
• Strengthening Jewish identity in teens through a network of high school choral ensembles
• Commissioning and premiering new Jewish choral works
• Creating dynamic, cutting-edge Jewish music programming
• Organizing Israel trips and missions for more than three decades
• Appearing in prime concert venues throughout the US and Israel
