ABOUT US
Music is the pen of the soul
Formed in 1986, the Sydney Jewish Choral Society is Sydney's premier Jewish mixed community choir.
Under the musical direction of Rose Grausman for the past thirty two years, the choir is an established part of Sydney's cultural scene, performing a broad repertoire spanning Jewish and Secular music of varied styles, from liturgical to modern.
The Society participates in fund raising for community causes and regularly appears in public on behalf of Sydney Jewry. Using music as a bridge between and within the Jewish and wider communities, the choir aims to build goodwill and spread messages of harmony and tolerance.
