Praised by the Washington Post as "singing passionately with utter precision," Zemer Chai sings the full range of Jewish choral repertoire, from classical and liturgical pieces to commissioned works and folk Music from around the world. Founded by conductor Eleanor Epstein in 1976, Zemer Chai brings together singers from all walks of Jewish life who share a commitment to performing this Music with soul and authenticity. Zemer Chai has performed at the White House, Library of Congress, Strathmore and Kennedy Center, as well as in concert halls in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and throughout Israel.

Our first meeting/rehearsal was in September 2013. We are directed by Maestro Manuel Jesús Sanchidrián Torti who has an excellent reputation as a choral director in Malaga. Our first concert was in Velez-Malaga in December 2013 when we were joined by a children's Choir and a youth orchestra from the Conservatorio “GONZALO MARTIN TENLLADO” in Malaga, both of which are also directed by Manuel Sanchidrián . We plan further concerts and we intend to collaborate with other Choirs from different areas of Spain. Our singers represent 12 different countries and we sing in a number of languages.  less
