\u201cThe Festival is for anyone who wants to experience the joy of Jewish music,\u201d says Matthew Lazar, Festival Founder and Director. \u201cThe participants are multi-generational and include amateur singers, professionals, cantors, conductors, and lovers of Jewish music of all ages.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Each year since 1990, the North American Jewish Choral Festival (NAJCF) has attracted hundreds of singers who \u201cSing Their Hearts Out\u201d and connect to Jewish culture during a five-day immersion in Jewish music. From around the country, hundreds of voices come together to form one harmonious choral community led by a renowned staff of conductors and other music experts who inspire and create a truly unique musical society.<\/div>\n

This year’s 34th<\/sup> annual event will be held from July 9 – 13, 2023 at the Sleepy Hollow Hotel in Tarrytown, NY, as hundreds of voices come together to create one harmonious choral community.<\/p>\n

Festival participants from across North America and beyond, enjoy a wide variety of Jewish musical experiences. These include daily “community sings;” workshops and seminars on topics ranging from sight-singing and vocal technique to spirituality through music; and evening concerts featuring choirs and outstanding performers.<\/p>\n

According to Dana Stein of North Brunswick, New Jersey, who has been participating in the Festival since its inception, “The Festival presents a wonderful opportunity to learn extraordinary music and work with accomplished conductors from all over the world, all while having a mini vacation.”<\/p>\n

One of the distinguishing features of this Festival is that individual singers can participate in “Instant Ensembles.” All singers are divided into five different choirs, based on their sight-reading abilities and previous musical experience. The Festival culminates with ensembles performing for the entire group.<\/p>\n

“The Festival is an uplifting experience for singers from across the Jewish spectrum to come together through their love of music,” adds Sharon Greene of Sarasota, Florida.<\/p>\n

This year’s Festival celebrates the 75th<\/sup> anniversary of the State of Israel with choral repertoire by Israeli composers featured throughout the Festival program.<\/p>\n

According to Barry Brian of Walnut Creek, 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.”<\/p>\n

“Whether you’re a novice or a pro, you’ll leave with new skills, new music and new friends to cherish as hundreds of singers gather together for an unforgettable experience,” concludes Mr. Lazar.<\/p>\n
