The choir operates mainly in the United States, but also performs in Moscow,[1] Europe and Israel.

In 2010, the choir released an album called Shira Chadasha, in which soloists from the choir sang, including Levi Falkowitz, Beri Weber, and more.

As of 2015, the Shira Choir has about 50 choir members and they perform in different groups every evening and at special events. Additionally, they record for albums and songs of other singers.

Collabarations

The choir sings on many albums, the most notable of which are: Yiddish Collection and Kissufim by Mordechai Ben David on Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz's albums. In other albums, only part of the choir members were used, among them Mendy Weiss' Alle Alle .

An interesting collaboration is between the Shira Choir and its Israeli sister choir, the Malchut Choir, where they performed together as part of the Dirshu Siyum Hashas.
