Each group will separately perform songs from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian cultures, respectively, and then join together to perform music that transcends the collective cultures.
The idea of shared values, especially in these turbulent times, rises above our many cultures and connects us.
By using music to explore the themes of freedom, we seek to create a culture of understanding, faith, and hope.
Join us at 2:15 PM for a guided tour of the Vilna!
Learn about the history of the Jews of Boston and the unique architectural features of this particular building.
Please note that the doors and building will not open until 2:15 PM to the public.

Founded in 1969, the Zamir Chorale of Boston is a musical and educational organization with a mission to raise awareness of the breadth and beauty of Jewish culture through performances, recordings, symposia, publications, and musical commissions.
Led by Founder and Artistic Director Dr. Joshua Jacobson, Zamir performs music spanning hundreds of years, four continents, and nearly every musical style.
Zamir’s repertoire includes Jewish liturgical pieces, major classical works, music of the Holocaust, new compositions, as well as Israeli, Yiddish, and Ladino folksongs.
Concerts are designed to entertain, educate and inspire, which is why Zamir’s music is enjoyed by people of all ages, religions and races.
VOICES 21C is a chamber choir committed to creating personal meaning in performance by connecting musical messages to social justice issues in the USA and abroad, and representing the voices of the silenced, the forgotten, and the marginalized.
The Boston Community Choir (a.k.a.
The Boston Pops Gospel Choir), is an all-volunteer, multicultural, intergenerational, multi-denominational group comprised of singers from the Greater Boston area.
The Boston Pops Gospel Choir was originally brought together to perform in the first “Gospel Night at POPS” in 1993.
“Gospel Night” is a result of the vision and commitment of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Cultural Diversity Committee, championed by the late Vondal M.
Taylor, Jr., who was Vice-Chair of the Cultural Diversity Committee, and an overseer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Gospel Night has since become an annual event that continues to feature the choir.
It had its twentieth annual performance in June 2012.
After the death of Vondal Taylor in 1995, Brother Dennis Slaughter decided to develop Boston Community Choir during the off season.
Through his efforts and musical direction, the Boston Community Choir has become well-known throughout New England for its inspired and uplifting performances.
Boston Community Choir continues to be a positive contribution to the rich and exciting history of gospel music.
