Traveling with the Chorale will be a group of over 20 tourists accompanied by visiting scholar Professor Benjamin Ravid of Brandeis University. With a mission to build Jewish-Christian relations, Zamir will also be reviving Hebrew art music in the place where it began 400 years ago. "Through our music, people divided by language, culture, class and faith are discovering the deeper spiritual realities and cherished moral commitments that bind us in a common humanity," says Zamir's director, Joshua Jacobson.
