Shir Joy Chorus will present its Spring Concert, "Songs of Joy and Praise," on
Sunday, June 11, 2017 at 7 pm at Congregation B'nai Shalom, 117 E. Main St.,
Westborough, MA. Come hear joyous music and songs of gratitude from ancient to
modern times in Ladino, Yiddish, Hebrew, and English from Italy, Uganda, Eastern

Shir Joy Chorus is an adult, transdenominational community chorus, under the direction
of Nan A. Kaipainen Gibbons, dedicated to learning, sharing, and performing Jewish
music from the rich and varied Judaic cultures of Israel and the Jewish Diaspora.
Founded in 2011, it is an independent nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, funded by the
Jewish Federation of Central Massachusetts, the Westborough Cultural Council and the
Worcester Arts Council (members of the Massachusetts Cultural Council), and private
supporters. The chorus is non-auditioned and is open to all people regardless of
ethnicity or religious background.

Shir Joy is a musical organization dedicated to raising awareness and appreciation of
the breadth and beauty of Jewish culture through performances and related activities. In
addition to its two annual concerts at Congregation B’nai Shalom in Westborough, the
Chorus performs at other venues such as Arts in Common in Westborough (for the
Westborough Cultural Council), Yom Hashoah Commemoration in Worcester,
Northborough Community Meals, and the Interfaith Concert in Westborough and
Communities of Songs Concert in Worcester, which benefit the MA Pastoral Counseling
Centers.

Tickets: $15. May be purchased at the door, or ahead of time from a chorus member.
