The choir’s appearance in Jerusalem in August 1998 was historic and triumphant.  LAZC received wide acclaim for its performances and for its repertoire.  Its audiences were treated to Jewish music written by many of Southern California’s most gifted composers.

Following its return from Jerusalem the choir elected to maintain its existence and expand its repertoire and mission.  LAZC performed extensively throughout performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony #3, “The Kaddish” together with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in Nuremberg, Germany.  The project entitled “Sounds of Healing” was lead by the LAZC and brought together 200 singers from Los Angeles, Toronto, and Tel Aviv to perform this important work before enthusiastic and appreciative audiences in Los Angeles at UCLA’s Royce Hall and in Nuremberg before sold out houses of over 5000 persons at Meistersinger Halle.

LAZC has been invited to perform in venues throughout the world and continues its mission of bringing Jewish music, particularly music written by Southern California Jewish composers, to audiences in America and abroad.
