The Zemel Choir, established in 1955, is proud of its international reputation as one of the world’s finest mixed-voice Jewish choirs. Our wide-ranging repertoire embraces all the traditional Jewish cultures, Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Yiddish and Israeli. Zemel regularly perform in major venues throughout the U.K. and overseas and, besides singing well-known favourites, they present new music from contemporary composers.
Merlin & Polina Shepherd perform together in a way that is rarely encountered. Playing Music from several linked cultures and maintaining the styles, they also incorporate improvisation, freedom and spontaneity. With a unique approach to Klezmer, Turkish, Slavic, Greek and Romanian music they weave a sound that, so like music from these countries themselves, moves the listener physically, emotionally and spiritually.
