SHIRAH was formed in January 1995 with the generous
support of its founding patrons, Bernard z”l and Ruth
Weinflash z”l, as a regional chorus specializing in the
performance of the full spectrum of Jewish music. Housed at the Kaplen
JCC on the Palisades Thurnauer School of Music in Tenafly, NJ, its
roster includes a multigenerational blend of singers from northern
New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. SHIRAH performs
regularly at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades and has been featured
in many concerts in the U.S. and Israel, including Lincoln Center, the
New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the John Harms Theatre, and the
Colden Center, featuring the World Premiere performance
of This Scroll by Dov Seltzer with the Queens Symphony. SHIRAH
performs annually at the North American Jewish Choral Festival and
in concerts in the tri-state area.
