L'Chaim! A Celebration of Life

L’Chaim! To Life! With music from the Jewish tradition and around the world, SFCA celebrates life and love, gratitude and consolation, in a program of psalms and lamentation, wisdom and joy.

Spanning from Salomone Rossi and Felix Mendelssohn to contemporary voices including Tzvi Avni, Matt Van Brink, Sylke Zimpel, L Peter Deutsch, and Alice Parker, we explore a wide emotional landscape through music shaped by Jewish text and tradition. Join us for songs of praise and devotion, intimacy, and hard-won hope—featuring world premieres by Composer-in-Residence Max Marcus and Composer-Not-in-Residence Peter Hilliard.
