| Celebrating
its 11th season, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony is dedicated to the
performance of orchestral works of distinction, which explore Jewish
culture, heritage and experience. It also serves as an important
resource for aspiring composers and musicians. As part of its
mission, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony is committed to building
“bridges of music” and understanding within the diverse multi-ethnic
communities of our great city.
Since
its debut performance in 1994, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, under the
baton of Artistic Director Noreen Green, has won local, national and international
acclaim for its inspired programming featuring commissioned new works and
many world premieres. Its performances at numerous prestigious venues
locally and overseas have played to the ovation of standing room only audiences.
In
addition to its yearly concerts, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony
develops and conducts educational outreach programming for over
1000 school children each season. The Symphony’s commitment
to our future generations reflects its belief in the life affirming
value and importance of music appreciation.
The
Los Angeles Jewish Symphony fills a cultural niche that revitalizes the
legacy of Jewish music and spans the broad range of Jewish heritage from
the nadir of adversity to the triumph of accomplishment. In the words
of the Los Angeles Times “...the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony seems committed
to the axiom that diversity is a terrible thing to waste.” |
