MUSICAL GROUPS OF EMANU-EL

Congregation Emanu-El has always taken pride in its professional choir, consisting of some of the Bay Area's finest vocal talent. A sextet performs each Shabbat morning, and on the High Holy Days, it is expanded to fourteen voices. This glorious choir enhances our worship as it presents the choral gems of our tradition, and accompanies our Cantor in prayer.

Kol Emanu-El has just celebrated its Twelfth Anniversary. This adult volunteer group is a dedicated and talented choir of congregants who come together on Wednesday evenings to rehearse, and on the third Friday of each month to sing and lead the 5:30 worship in the Martin Meyer Sanctuary, alongside our Cantor. There are currently 20 members and we are always seeking new voices. The choir is sought after in the community as well, and has performed at interfaith services, concerts, and public ceremonies (such as the 50th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter). This group is truly a "chavurah" as well as a musical experience.
