IF I FORGET THEE , O JERUSALEM Homage to the Holy City, Jerusalem: a unique evening blending classical and folkloric works inspired by the Jewish people's eternal longing for Jerusalem.
OUT OF THE WHIRLWIND A moving evening dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust, reviving works by outstanding composers who perished (Gideon Klein, Ervin Schulhoff, etc.) along with traditional Yiddish songs.
BERESHIT: MUSIC FROM THE BIBLE Music based on biblical texts and themes: a mesmerizing encounter with the Jewish heritage as seen through the eyes of composers from the 17th century to the present. An ideal program for churches and synagogues.
IN THE SPANISH MOOD Captivating music and passionate drama from Seville to Latin America. Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) Romanzas add a charming touch! Selections by Granados, de Falla, Debussy, Albeniz, and others.
MAGIC FLUTE AND NIGHTINGALE A colorful concert of French music: Debussy, Poulenc, Ravel, Chaminade, blending the celestial and the sensual, sparkling like champagne.
INGATHERING OF THE EXILES: NEW MUSIC FROM ISRAEL A retrospective of outstanding Israeli composers, young and old: Josef Tal, Gil Shohat, Max Stern, Aharon Harlap, and others. For more than 100 years, immigrant composers have brought to Israel the musical traditions of their mother countries. In turn, they have been influenced by the local culture, scenery, and folklore. The fusion of these multi-faceted styles has created a new Israeli music of fascinating variety and vibrancy.
