Reviews and comments about the 2008 Keshet Eilon Mastercourse by faculty

 "Not only am I personally drawn to the work of Keshet Eilon, but I believe that its contribution to the music world in Israel and throughout the world is extraordinary.  The level and the standard of gifted young violinists, as well as faculty, are of the highest that can be found anywhere in the world. Everything possible should be done to expose Keshet Eilon to the whole world so as to promote these young talents."

Ida Haendel, legendary violinist of our time, closely associated with Keshet Eilon since 1999 as a distinguished guest artist, mentor and role model

"Not a day has passed since my stay in Israel that I have not been thinking, dreaming or talking about the intensive and highly impressive experience of the Keshet Eilon festival, with the nicest people and fantastic masterclasses, pupils concerts, lectures, etc.  All this made possible by a great, warm professional staff!"

Rudolf Koelman, renowned violinist, professor at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste,  member of the 2008 Mastercourse faculty

"Despite my experience with festivals and masterclasses on four continents, nothing can match the uniqueness of Keshet Eilon with its particular focus on violin.  I appreciate your efforts to give international students a taste of Israel and leave them with memorable experiences, whether musical or personal.  Gilad, you are surrounded by a professional and generous staff, and this contributes a lot to making us, the guest artists, partners in this idealistic endeavor."
