Shirei Emet (“Singers of Truth”) is a multi-generational group of talented vocalists in our congregation. Started in 1989 by our music director, Gennady Konnikov, the continued success of Shirei Emet is due to his passionate leadership, and to an equally enthusiastic group of singers who enjoy one another’s company, as well as the harmonious blending of their voices.
The choir’s repertoire includes a diverse selection of Jewish choral music, ranging from classical Jewish composers to contemporary works of local cantors. Shirei Emet performs at Temple Emeth holiday celebrations and concerts, the Spring Musicale, and B’nai Mitzvot. Beyond the congregation, our choir has performed at nursing homes and rehabilitation centers, the Vilna Shul (Boston), Touro Synagogue (Newport, RI), and the annual North American Jewish Choral Festival (Catskills, NY).
Rehearsals are held at the Temple. New members are welcome. For information please contact the Temple office at 617-469-9400, or email Gennady at musicdir@templeemeth.org.
