Festive Opening Performance – The Israel Camerata Jerusalem with Soloist Violinist Itamar Zorman

The concert is dedicated to the late Yehuda Zisapel, a man of hi-tech, music, and culture.
A partner in the journey of “Keshet Eilon” who contributed greatly to Israeli classical music.

The opening concert of the Keshet Eilon concert series will be a spectacular event by the Israel Camerata Jerusalem. In this festive performance, the Camerata will host the wonderful soloist violinist Itamar Zorman.
The Israel Camerata Jerusalem orchestra was founded in 1983 by Professor Avner Biron in Rehovot. Within a short time, the orchestra gained an important place on Israel’s musical map, became the leading chamber orchestra in Israel, and is now considered one of the best chamber orchestras in the world. Biron’s uncompromising professional work with the orchestra, combining immigrant musicians with Israeli musicians and creating original and unique concert programs, brought the Camerata to special qualities, expressed in the highest level of performance and stylistic precision.
In addition to the international repertoire the orchestra performs, Biron makes sure to commission original works from Israeli composers, thus contributing to original Israeli creation.
Beyond its professional and cultural importance, the orchestra shows great social involvement and does much for musical education in the country, by instilling music among Israeli children, through adapted and explained concerts that make the world of classical music accessible to young audiences.
Program: Mozart / Violin Concerto No. 4, K. 218
Bach / Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042

Ensemble Cecilia – Hymn to Saint Cecilia
Friday, November 28, 2025, 9:00 PM, Bar Orian Hall
A program for an a cappella vocal octet exploring sacred liturgical music, folk music, and what lies between them. At the center of the concert is Benjamin Britten’s work, “Hymn to Saint Cecilia.”
Following the exciting first-place victory at the International Choir Competition in Hungary in April 2025, Ensemble Cecilia brings the winning program back to Israel. In this program, the ensemble embarks on a vocal journey between sacred and holy music and secular music – with all content performed a cappella, without instrumental accompaniment, in eight voices for eight singers. At the center of the program stands Benjamin Britten’s work, “Hymn to Saint Cecilia,” one of the central works for a cappella writing that presents special harmonic complexity and praises the patroness of music and the arts. Also in the program: works by Monteverdi, Byrd, Zvi Avni, Udi Perlman, György Orbán and others.
Ensemble Cecilia is a vocal octet specializing in performing a cappella works. Each of its singers is a soloist with classical training from Israel and around the world, and many of its singers perform in parallel to their appearances with Ensemble Cecilia on the biggest stages in the country with the finest orchestras active today.
