EXPERIENCE THE RICH TAPESTRY OF JEWISH MUSIC IN THE OPEN AIR

as we bring together artists, traditions, and communities right here in the heart of Durham. From klezmer to contemporary liturgy, each concert offers a fresh take on Jewish sound, soul, and simcha (joy).

Join us for these FREE CONCERTS outdoors at the Preminger Family Amphitheater for spirited performances that blend old and new, familiar and unexpected — and discover the power of experiencing Jewish music in community.

The Good Vibrations concert series celebrates the depth and diversity of Jewish musical expression, welcoming all who are curious, joyful, and ready to share in something meaningful. Come early, bring a friend, and be part of the music.

Enjoy three unique evenings of Jewish music this summer at the Preminger Family Amphitheater: June 11 kicks us off with a lively night of klezmer; July 9 features the original, uplifting songs of Eliana Light, and July 23 debuts Psalms for the 2020s, a powerful new album by Rabbi Solomon Hoffman.
