The Sacred and Profane Zimriya festival did not take place on the 21-24 of June 2020, due to the Covid-19 virus…

The Zimriya is the most important of its kind in Israel with hundreds of singers every year participating in workshops and concerts of choral music. Members of choirs from Israel and abroad spend 4 days during which they study new works for choir with internationally renowned choral conductors who contribute their skills and time to the Zimriya.
All concerts are open to the public.

The Zimriya, celebrating 68 years of activity, initiated by A. Z. Propes in 1952, will hold one of the biggest and most important musical & cultural events in 2020, in the subterranean Crusaders Knights’ Halls and open areas, in the spectacular old historic town of Acre: www.akko.org.il/en
