I am happy to share with you some amazing recommendations for both indoor and outdoor activities that are suitable for the whole family.
A FREE PERCUSSION CONCERT WITH THE JERUSALEM SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra is inviting the public to an especially rhythmic Purim party for the whole family. Guy Feder will host the Tremolo Percussion Ensemble who together will take the spectators on a journey following the percussion. The percussion is the ancient sound that has been beating in our lives with music generated by nature through man made sounds. You will also witness a duel between two solo percussionists and their mallets.
The concert will feature works by Beethoven, Bartók, Vivaldi, Strauss… and more surprises!
