Nashirah enters its twenty-third year as the only auditioned, community-based chorale in the Greater Philadelphia area performing exclusively Jewish and Jewish-themed music. Our distinct musical programming embodies the broadest conceivable range of Jewish repertoire as together we weave a diverse tapestry of choral music from amongst many lands, languages, and cultures. It is, and has always been Nashirah's  vision to bring such diverse music spanning the borders of many continents across the boundaries of time. Always striving for the highest degree of musicianship, we infuse our performances with neshama - "soul" - by which we touch the hearts of our audiences.

 

Nashirah's singers come from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. We hail from all walks of life; united by a commitment to musical excellence, a love of singing Jewish choral music, and a special desire to openly enable all listeners to experience the great beauty of the Jewish musical tradition. Nashirah is delighted to have the opportunity to express this beautiful art form, and we are proud to be the seminal chorale of its type in the Philadelphia area.
