During the concert, Matthew Lazar, the founder and director of the Zamir Choral Foundation, shares the stage with conductors from HaZamir’s local chapters, all of whom have worked on a common repertoire in their respective cities throughout the year.

Mixing classical and contemporary musical selections, many with Hebrew texts, the concert’s program boasts a dazzling array of vocal arrangements -- from soaring, large-scale groupings, to intermediate settings to demanding solos, all of which seamlessly blend teens from the different chapters.
