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!

The botanical garden is offering an experiential tour where visitors will discover how plants celebrate Purim and disguise themselves all year long, such as the bee orchid that disguises itself as a female bee to attract male bees for pollination or the bird of paradise, a wondrous flower that looks like a bird and more.
