"We the members of Nashirah, the Jewish Chorale of Greater Philadelphia wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated Board of Directors, loyal and generous patrons, gifted leadership and cherished audience for their abiding support. We are indeed fortunate and we look forward to many years of sharing our great musical heritage with the Philadelphia community and beyond." If you will it, it is no dream Yאִם תִרְצוּ, אֵין זוֹ אַגָדה
on the Main Stage at Eakins Oval - Ben Franklin Parkway
Nashirah,
enters its seventh year as the only auditioned, community-based chorale in the
Greater Philadelphia area that performs exclusively Jewish and Jewish-themed
music; performing the broadest possible range of Jewish repertoire. With
our distinctive musical programming, Nashirah
brings choral music of many lands, languages and
cultures together.
Our unique performances offer wonderfully diverse
music spanning the borders of the continents and the boundaries of time.
Always striving for the highest degree of
musicianship,
we infuse our performances with 'neshama', the soul with which we touch the hearts of
our audiences.
Nashirah's
singers come from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware - we hail from
all walks of life, and are united by a commitment to musical excellence, a love
of singing all things Jewish, and a special desire to enable all listeners to
experience the great beauty of the Jewish musical tradition.
Chorales such as the Zamir Chorale of Boston, the Zamir Chorale of New York, and Zemer Chai of Washington have long been considered cultural treasures of their communities. So too, Nashirah, the chorale in residence at the Gershman Y, is delighted to have the opportunity to share this beautiful art form and proud to be the seminal chorale of its type in the Philadelphia area.
You too can be a part of Nashirah's story... Are you a singer ? Learn about auditions! Are you a concert goer ? Notify me of upcoming events!
