50 Years Leipzig Synagogal Choir

Music plays a key role as mediator between the nations. The Leipzig Synagogal Choir sees its goal in the preservation of synagogue music as well as of Yiddish and Hebrew folk songs by performing the compositions in free arrangements. The ensemble, which consists of singers of non-Jewish origin,
will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2012.

Today as well as in the future the dedication of the Leipzig Synagogal Choir will be the support of peace, tolerance, and cultural communication between the nations by giving converts all over the world.
