11:30 AM - 1:00 PM. Magevet Choral Ensemble in Concert
In honor of Israel's 60th Birthday, Congregation Beth Israel-Judea is pleased to present Magevet, Yale University's Jewish Choral Ensemble.
Magevet is a Jewish, Hebrew and Israeli a cappella group at Yale. All of its members are undergrads devoted to spreading beautiful music of the Jewish tradition to the far corners of the globe. The Magevet repertoire is extremely diverse, spanning from liturgical Renaissance arrangements to the folk melodies of the Abayudaya tribe - and everything in-between.
Magevet regularly travels nationally and internationally. Its members run the gamut in religious background and area of study, but they are united by a singular passion for the music.
Refreshments will be served.
Suggested donation is $5.
