The Zamir Chorale of Boston, known for treating audiences to Jewish musical treasures, performed with excellence, is about to deliver an even more magical concert event.
The chorale will present Zamir in the Round: An Immersive Experience, at Temple Reyim in Newton. The dynamic “surround-sound” event will break down the invisible wall that often separates performers from their audience. Listeners will be placed right inside a circle of singers for an evening of offerings by George Gershwin, Salamone Rossi, Leonard Bernstein, Cantor Benjie Ellen Schiller, Noami Shemer, Irving Berlin, and more.
As the singers rotate positions and groupings, audience members will remain at the center, enjoying a range of polyphonic and, at times, interactive music—from meditative to rousing, whimsical to mystical, and jazzy to prayerful.
“Beautiful music is more than a series of melodies,” said Zamir Founder and Artistic Director Joshua Jacobson. “Like nature or prayer, it permeates listeners’ souls and inspires them. We believe that our ‘boundaryless’ format will facilitate this energy and wonder.”
