Hi there,
The 10th edition of the Estonian-Israeli festival proudly presents young rising stars from Estonia to the Israeli audience and brings together Estonian and Israeli musicians. Together, they will perform classical and contemporary, jazz, and oriental music in various programs all over Israel.
In honor of the decade celebrations, in addition to the concert halls, there will be performances in museums, churches, and other alternative spaces. The shows and concerts will be held all over Israel: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Nazareth, Haifa, Acre, Zikrhon, and more.
New venues this year include Studio Anette in Tel Aviv and the Conservatory of Akko!
The upcoming festival will take the audience on a musical journey throughout the centuries, starting from Händel, Bach, and early opera, then Mendelssohn, Enescu, Bloch, and Eller to contemporary composers such as Uusberg, Grigorieva, Heba Sadran and Rony Ginossar, in a traditional but also very untraditional way.
Last, but not least, another celebration of the decade includes several free concerts and shows for the general public!
