The eighth annual nationwide observance of Jewish Music Festival begins tomorrow under the auspices of the National Jewish Music Council which is sponsored by the National Jewish Welfare Board.
Planned by Jewish Community Centers, synagogues, music libraries, community councils and other Jewish communal organizations are concerts of Jewish music, community songs, lectures, forums, plays and radio and television programs. Rabbis and their congregations will mark the observance with special sermons and programs. A number of national symphony orchestras, colleges and public libraries have also scheduled Jewish music events.
To aid the more than 1,000 Jewish organizations taking part in the Festival, the National Jewish Music Council has made available 30 program aids. In addition, the Council has issued bibliographies of vocal and instrumental music, lists of recordings of Jewish music; four sample music programs, including one on Israel and one for an informal concert of recordings; and annotated list of musico-dramatic scripts; a Jewish Music Festival poster and a mat of the poster.
