The event showcased Jewish musical styles from across the globe. HaZamir engages hundreds of Jewish teens in contemporary and classical Jewish choral music and helps strengthen their connection to their Jewish heritage. The Miami chapter, led by Dr. Alan Mason, meets weekly at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center, a Federation partner agency, communicating and rehearsing with their partnership chapter in Yerucham via videoconference.
