The New York Jewish Music Festival (NYJMF) is an amazing opportunity for musicians and dancers of different ages to share their talent in a friendly music festival atmosphere and explore the Jewish identity and heritage in the performing arts.
Whether you sing, dance or play an instrument, amateur or a professional, musician or a music fan – this event is for you! It will consist of the Audition for the participants and the actual festival, which is going to be open to the public. The grand prize is $150. Participants will also have an opportunity to receive certificates and/or other special awards and the audience will of course get to enjoy all of the wonderful music presented during this event.
This project was originally created as part of the 2014-2015 COJECO BluePrint Fellowship program funded by the UJA-Federation of New York and Genesis Philanthropy Group and debuted on June 7, 2015 at Symphony Space in NYC.
