Lashir, the Jewish Choir of Princeton, is set to present its 33rd annual concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 7. The event will be held at the Princeton Jewish Center located at 435 Nassau Street in Princeton.
The program will feature musical settings spanning the breadth of the Jewish choral repertoire, including works by Salamone Rossi, Yehezkel Braun, Jack Gottlieb and Benjie Ellen Schiller.
The concert will also feature a guest appearance by members of HaZamir: The International Jewish High School Choir. Sponsored by the Zamir Choral Foundation, HaZamir is a network of 26 choral chapters across the United States and Israel which provides Jewish teens with a high level choral experience in a Jewish environment.
Lashir, established in 1981, is an independent, volunteer non-profit Jewish community choir comprised of members drawn primarily from the Princeton area. The choir is the oldest source of Jewish choral music in this area of New Jersey that does not serve the liturgical needs of a synagogue. Serving as a cultural representative of the Jewish community, Lashir is dedicated to preserving, promoting and transmitting the Jewish cultural heritage with repertoire in Hebrew, Yiddish and Ladino.
Admission to the concert is free. Light refreshments will be served following the performance. For more information about the program, contact info@lashir.org.
