October 2011 marked the rebirth of Shir Darom, the Jewish Community Chorus of Hampton Roads, under the direction of Madeline Rossettini.
Founded in 1998, Shir Darom, or Song of the South, has recently performed at the Simon Family JCC’s American Jewish Composers series and its Virginia Festival of Jewish Film, at Old Dominion University’s International Festival at the Ted Constant Convocation Center and at the Interfaith Celebration Concert at ODU’s Chandler Recital Hall.
The voices of Shir Darom perform traditional and contemporary Jewish music, both liturgical and secular, from the shtetl to show biz, in Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and English.
For more information on joining or having Shir Darom perform at a future synagogue, social or community event, contact Linda Samuels at linsam1@cox.net or 573-8788.
