On Sunday afternoon, February 26, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., the Twin Cities Jewish Chorale will present its “Jewish Pops Concert,”  performing tunes from the heyday of Yiddish stage and radio productions.  They’ll indulge a little Gershwin.  They’ll treat the audience to Broadway show tunes by Bernstein and Bock.  They’ll sing a rarely performed, and uniquely Jewish, piece by Kurt Weill.  And, of course, they’ll kibbitz about the indispensable contributions Jewish composers have made to American pops literature.  The Twin Cities Jewish Chorale will also welcome to the stage the winner of its Young Artist Solo Competition, open to junior and senior high school students across the Twin Cities.
The 35-member Twin Cities Jewish Chorale, founded in the fall of 2009, is an inclusive, community-wide concert choir devoted to performance of the full range of Jewish music. Several area cantors, synagogue music directors, and Minnesota Chorale Director Kathy Romey serve on its Advisory Board.   Membership in the Chorale is open to anyone who wants to sing Jewish music.
