° Chorale Moves To JCC

The Zamir Chorale, which per-
forms music with Jewish themes
and associations, has affiliated with
the Jewish Community Center
QCC). Beginning in September, the
choral group will be based at the
Kahn Building in West Bloomfield.
"The center will be a venue for
performances, and concerts will be
announced in our newsletters," said
Margo Weitzer, JCC spokesperson.
The chorale's first funding grant,
which was from the Max M. Fisher
Jewish Community Foundation in
1994, has expired and so it seemed
an appropriate time to establish the

affiliation.
While retaining its independent
organizational status, Zamir will
receive the support of the JCC's
marketing services for recruitment
of performers and promotion of its
concerts.
Zamir's repertoire features music
from all periods, baroque to mod-
em, and is sung in Hebrew,
Yiddish, Ladino and English. It is
directed by Benjamin Cohen, an
Ann Arbor conductor, stage direc-
tor and composer. Rochelle Barr is
the accompanist.
