Jan 27, 2021 at 20:00 'Days of Light' Marking the International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Three masterpieces from Europe between the two world wars led by conductor Steven Sloane. The chosen works reflect a world trapped between horror and optimism, between bold innovation and longing for the times we have passed. In all three, a humanistic spirit and human love pulsates, which was cut short with the horrors of the Nazi era.
It is no coincidence that David Bowie and the band "The Doors" recorded "Moon of Alabama" from Weill's 'Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny". The sweet-bitter tone of the song creates a poignant and visceral impact, based on a feeling of despair mixed with compassion - a feeling with which one can identify with even more today.
In the program:
Stravinsky - Polcinella Suite
Korngold - Much Ado About Nothing
Weill - Suite from the Rise and Fall of the city of Mahagonny.
Duration: About an hour and a half
Jan 28, 2021 at 20:00 A Festive Concert for Tu BiShvat
Conductor Eli Jaffe and Israeli singers in a special Friends of Israel program will be singing songs by Naomi Shemer, Uzi Hitman, an orchestral medley by Nurit Hirsch, and more of the musical fruits of our country.
