Ron Shulamit Conservatory

Bringing the benefits of arts enrichment to all of society regardless of gender, income or disability. Job training & placement for low income women. Bringing Jews of different backgrounds (religious, secular) together around a shared love of music. The Conservatory's mission is to make music available to everyone, including children with special needs, in addition to groups on the geographic and cultural periphery. Ron Shulamit hosts the only professional all female orchestra, a wide variety of ensembles, a choir, and an accordion orchestra for the preservation of traditional music. Music at risk of being lost from Jewish communities around the globe, is researched and performed, making it relevent to today's generation. Community concerts and free open houses are held on a regular basis in addition to performances in nursing homes and schools, as part of the goal of enriching the cultural life of Jerusalem residents. Our BA program offers low income women the chance for educational advancement and career placement. They go on to open music programs in the periphery where few cultural programs exist. The Conservatory also serves as a place of employment for many immigrant musicians (Olim), thereby aiding in the absorption process
