Judi Lamble composes award-winning Jewish music and is currently co-founder and Chair of the Twin Cities Jewish Chorale. Earlier, she performed in musical theatre and cabarets in her teens and 20s, sang soprano with the Chicago Symphony Chorus in her 30s, and has made music as a featured vocalist with Minneapolis’s Temple Israel Nefesh Shabbat band in her 40s. Throughout, she has composed, beginning with pop and jazz numbers for solo voice and piano and migrating to serious (and occasionally frivolous) Jewish choral music. Her settings of "Oseh Shalom" and "Sh'ma" have been included in the 2008 and 2010 International Festivals for New Jewish Liturgical Music, respectively, and her choral and congregational works are now regularly performed by the Nefesh Shabbat band and Twin Cities' synagogue choirs. In between singing and composing, Judi graduated from Barnard College, earned a law degree from the University of Michigan, married, and practiced law. She is now working on rearing two teenage daughters—a flautist/saxophonist and a vocalist/pianist--and continuing to search for meaningful texts to set to music.
