The American Society for Jewish Music traces its roots back to the Society for Jewish Folk Music of St. Petersburg, Russia (1908-1918). After the Bolshevik Revolution, members of the group published their compositions under the imprint of JUWAL, Publication Society for Jewish Music. Among these members were three composer-musicologists, Joseph Achron, Solomon Rosowsky and Lazar Saminsky, who emigrated to the United States, where, along with Abraham W. Binder and others, founded Mailamm (Makhon Eretz Yisraeli L’Mada’ey ha-Musika, 1932-39). From 1939-62, this was refashioned by A.W. Binder as the Jewish Music Forum, which in turn became the Jewish Liturgical Society of America (1963-74). In 1974, the latter group was reorganized as the ASJM under the direction of Albert Weisser.
The ASJM serves Jewish music professionals and interested lay people by publishing a scholarly journal, Musica Judaica, producing concerts, hosting lectures by experts in their fields, sponsoring a Composers Competition, and establishing links with Jewish communities, universities and seminaries throughout the world.
In addition to the programs presented by the Society, to which the general public is invited, the ASJM encourages seminars, workshops and master classes at which students may benefit from the musical expertise of the Society’s members.
