Music

With the opening of the Tzadik Performing Arts Center at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year, Weber expanded its Jazz, Rock, and Vocal ensembles while offering new courses in music theory and composition, electronic music, and sound engineering. In addition, our Director of Music leverages the dynamic teaching spaces within the Tzadik Performing Arts Center to offer a series of visiting performance artists, providing students with opportunities to learn from and make music with top working musicians in the Jewish and broader community.

Helen Zalik, co-founder of The Zalik Foundation

"A flourishing arts program is an intrinsic part of developing well-rounded students who are prepared to tackle the challenges facing our Jewish community and the broader world. It is our great pleasure to support advancing performing arts programming for Weber students and the Jewish community. The experience gained performing on stage provides life-long skills these students will use to advocate and lead in the future.”
Rabbi Ed Harwitz, Head of School

“We continue to be grateful to The Zalik Foundation for its transformative investment that, while providing new resources for Weber to meet its mission and serve our Jewish community, provides students, faculty and staff, and parents with a one-of-a-kind performing arts space that has given rise to new levels of artistic creativity and innovation. As Weber’s commitment to advancing the performing arts extends well beyond our campus, the Tzadik Performing Arts Center provides us with enhanced opportunities to partner with Jewish organizations.”
