Choral Director

Choral Director

Achi serves as choral director for four local choruses since 1989, sharing his passion for contemporary and traditional Jewish songs and American folk songs through sing-along event and performing with his choruses.

 

Nigunim Chorus of Berkeley

We meet every Sunday, 4pm at Cong. Netivot Shalom, Berkeley for three sessions a year. During each session we learn a few new songs, and revisit songs we’ve learned in the past.

We sing traditional and contemporary songs in Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino and English, arranged for two, three, and four parts.

Singing with Nigunim is recreational, enjoyable and energizing. Our weekly sessions include voice warm-ups, singing techniques and preparing repertoire for occasional performances.

Our goals include experiencing and preserving Jewish music, and developing a community where participants can grow musically as individuals and as members of a group.
