Dear friends and music lovers, we need your help! Our Foundation relies on subsidies and donations to organize our concerts. The musicians are having a real hard time at this moment. It’s the bitter truth. Please support us with your donation. Don’t think “it’s only €10,-”, because small amounts help in big numbers. On behalf of the Board I thank you very much, Micha Cohen, Chairman.

About
The Jewish Music Concerts Foundation (JMC) stimulates professional Jewish musicians and vivid Jewish live by organizing concerts with mostly Jewish music. Before the Second World War there were many concerts with Jewish music. It is that tradition that the Foundation is striving to continue. JMC awards a stimulation prize to a talented and promising Jewish musician. The Foundation is a non-profit organisation.
JMC has a non-paid Board of professionals. The daily management is done by Barry Mehler, who has been dedicating more than thirty years to promote Jewish music in Europe. He is the founder of the Yearly Concertgebouw Chanukah Concert. Barry is passionate about Jewish music.
