The Jewish Folk Chorus of San Francisco is in our 99th season of singing Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian, and Ladino songs for audiences in the Bay Area. Currently our chorus consists of two overlapping groups. The full chorus, led by our conductor Lisa Sargent with accompaniment by Inara Morgenstern, sings Jewish folk and contemporary pieces arranged in multi-part harmonies with two or three performances a year. Regular rehearsals are held each week in San Francisco.
Our Zingeray Ensemble, led by Ami Goodman and accompanied by Marvin Feldman, sings in unison. It performs several times a year at community locations and events, promoting audience participation, with most rehearsals occurring on Zoom, as needed.
