Belle Canto, Key Chorale "and many other outstanding area-based choral groups," the release adds.

A 50-piece orchestra com- prising "the area's finest professional players will provide the music," the release notes. "For all of us it's been exciting and stimulat- ing to experience Maestro Lazar's patient and meticulous approach to the pieces on the pro- gram," says Stephenson-Moe in the release. "So many professional singers joined this chorus because it is an unparalleled opportu- nity to sing great music conducted by a great maestro." Regarding Lazar, the release points out, "His superior talents as a conductor and interpreter of Jewish music have elevated the standards of Jewish musical performance and educated audiences across North America." His "vision- ary leadership led to the creation of the Zamir Choral Foundation, which continues to nur- ture the growth of Jewish choral singing in North America and Israel," it continues.
