The plaintive, stirring Chasidic song has been a vehicle of connection to a loftier plane, for over two centuries. Its notes and chords are the pens which express the soul\u2019s feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From powerful yearning and searing passion, to exuberant joy and eloquent majesty. From the niggunim <\/em>(tunes) <\/em>of Chabad to the marches of Gur, from the Modzhitzer melodies to Vizhnitzer classics, and so many more, the Chasidic genre runs a gamut, each speaking a slightly different language, yet ultimately touching the same Source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the contemporary age, the timeless beauty of Chassidic music meets up with modern technology and innovation, the results of which are breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel yourself connecting to a different time and place, yet at the same time very much here and now, and let its power overtake you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
