We finally were able to contact the Zamir group in Boston and spoke to their representatives." Mr. Katkowsky, who sings pro- fessionally at Congregation Shaarey Zedell, got the first board of directors together largely through his synagogue associa- tions. They began a search for other members as well as a paid music director and an accompa- nist. For the director, they chose Benjamin Cohen, who recently finished his master's degree in that field at the University of Michigan. "There's nothing like feeling music intrinsically and having a spiritual and artistically elevat- ing release," said Mr. Cohen, who also is music director for the Vo- cal Arts Ensemble, a chamber choir based in Ann Arbor, and di- rector of drama for Ottawa Hills High School in Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Cohen, who is in charge of auditioning Zamir members, looks for vocal quality and in- stincts for style, expression and recognition. He considers sight reading skills and how individu- als perform an exercise sheet af- ter one week of practice. Since attending a recent Jew- ish Chorale Conference in New York, Mr. Cohen has been think- ing about how to use all the new music that keeps surfacing. "When we applied for our grant, we pledged to Federation that we would provide a choral experience for Jews of all per- suasions," Mr. Katkowsky said. "We would outreach to every- one. We would keep basic ha- lachic laws and not perform or re- hearse on any holiday. We would have only kosher food." As part of their outreach, they are planning some other kinds of choruses under the Zamir um- brella — an all-men's group and an all-women's group for those who are Orthodox and can't sing in mixed chorales as well as an all-children's group. Zamir is scheduling a short au- All kinds of choruses are planned under the Zamir umbrella. tumn season and a longer spring season. Tentatively, the first large concert will be held Dec. 4. "While this was not envisioned as a social group, this can be a good social experience," Mr. Katkowsky said. Many lasting friendships can be formed." Except for the summer, Zamir rehearses from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Tuesdays. Members currently are negotiating for an acousti- cally- appropriate hall. "We have gotten support from every cantor in the area," Mr. Katkowsky said. "We encourage our members to sing with their own synagogue choirs, and we re- cruit from all of them. "We don't affiliate ourselves with any of them or any of the movements because we want to keep our stated purpose and goal of being a real community group." ❑
