Letters from Composers to the Zamir Chorale of Boston

Your concert was in the first rank of choral experiences that have enthralled me for beauty of tone, expression, accuracy of pitch, diction and spiritual significance. Your performance of "The Peaceable Kingdom" was second to none.
-- Randall Thompson, May 19, 1978

Above all, I want to congratulate you on the wonderful singing. The Zamir Chorale is a really first-rate group, as I’ve always known, but still I was in awe of the marvelous phrasing and high musicality throughout.
-- Kirke Meecham, February 25, 1998

I was so pleased and impressed with the reading of my piece. The choral sound was so fine, and the way you shaped the lines was eminently satisfying.
-- Simon Sargon, April 8, 1999

The performance of my "Even When God Is Silent" is very beautiful and moving. Zamir is a truly outstanding ensemble.
-- Michael Horvit, January 5, 2000

Your performance is beautiful! Wow!
