T he goal of the choir is to disseminate Sephardic Culture originated in Spain, through music to the Sephardic, Ashkenazi and general community.
Kol Sephardic Choir sings Romanceros in Ladino (Castilian Spanish), and liturgical music in Hebrew. The Romanceros are songs that were kept alive by our ancestors for hundres of years after the expulsion from Spain in 1492.

M embers of the choir are both Sephardic and Ashkenazi. The choir performed in Synagogues, Jewish Community Center events, in private homes, and other locations for Sephardic Cultural Evenings including the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion during the Los Angeles county Hanukkah Music Festival.
On special occasions the choir joined other choirs to perform together. Most recently we performed in a "Shabbaton Banquet" at the Hyatt Hotel (Newport Beach) as well as at the "Evening of Choral Entertainment", organized by city of West Hollywood at the "Fiesta Hall" in Plummer Park.

K ol Sephardic Choir has two groups, one in athe Valley, the other on the Westside. The Valley Group meets on Tuesday between 8:00-9:30p.m. and on the Westside on Thursdays, between 8:00-9:30 p.m.

W e invite any individuals, Sephardic, Ashkenazi, and the public at large, who enjoy singing and who likes to sing Romanceros in Ladino and beautiful Sephardic liturgical music, to join us.
