UK's Zemel Choir plans Israel
tour
The Zemel Choir, a leading mixed-voice Jewish choir
from the UK, will return to Israel in March, with concerts scheduled in
Ra'anana, Karmiel and Rishon Lezion.
THE ZEMEL Choir will mix 19th century works
with Lennon and McCartney.
Under Musical Director Benjamin Wolf, the choir
performs a wide range of music in Hebrew, English, Yiddish and Ladino,
written by composers from all
around the world. The Zemel
Choir performs regularly in London to both Jewish and non-Jewish
audiences, has been on the BBC and recently released an album of Jewish
choral music.
On its Israel tour, the choir, accompanied by British
cantor Robert Brody, expects to sing synagogue music by 19th century
composers Lewandowski and Sulzer, works by Israeli composers such as Gil
Aldema and Yehezkel Braun, American music by Copland and
Tom Lehrer, liturgical and
folk music by British composers, and lighter numbers by the likes of
John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Burt Bacharach.
The choir, which was established in 1955, was last
here in 1996.
