Come to KI to hear a trio from the Israel Symphony Orchestra on their first US tour! The ISO is a cultural cornerstone in Rishon LeZion, Tel Aviv and beyond, bringing music and joy to communities throughout Israel while providing vital opportunities for young Israeli and immigrant musicians and enriching the nation’s cultural future.
Violinist Yana Mering, violist Doron Alperin and cellist Eyal Heiman will cover two centuries of music from Western and Eastern European composers, including a piece written at Terezin in 1944 by the talented Jewish-Czech composer Gideon Klein. They will conclude with a selection of contemporary Israeli songs arranged for string trio. Guests are encouraged to stay after the concert to meet the musicians and hear their stories!
TICKETS
The Israel Symphony Orchestra Rishon LeZion (ISO) was founded in 1988 by the municipality of Rishon LeZion and a year later it became the resident orchestra of The Israeli Opera in Tel Aviv, the premier opera company in Israel. Very quickly the ISO was recognized as one of the leading and most innovative musical organizations in Israel. Led by musical director Dan Ettinger, the ISO currently employs 76 musicians and support staff from Israel, Russia, Spain, United States, Germany, Australia, Romania, and China. During the war, members of the ISO played over 200 concerts for communities affected by the atrocities and for refugees all over Israel. Today, the ensemble needs your help as recent funding cuts are affecting staff salaries and operations.
Proceeds from this concert will be sent by KI to the ISO to support their talented musicians. In addition to your ticket purchase (or if you are unable to attend), please consider supporting the ensemble philanthropically directly through their US Causematch page.
