This year JMCLA is celebrating our 28th season. In 2010 we will continue presenting opportunities that enrich our Jewish spirit and bring us closer together with other cultures and religions. We are proud to provide a platform for creative talent while fostering a deeper understanding of diverse peoples and their music.

Join us as we continue to support new opportunities for the composition and performance of Jewish music. Our next event, the Seventh Annual Interfaith Symposium and Concert happens March 14. Join us at 1pm for discussion and debate followed by a 3pm concert conducted by Nick Strimple. This year, the Interfaith Symposium topic is Facing the Storm – Sources of Faith in Art, Theology and Music. For more details, download the flier.
