Immerse yourself in the glory of Israel’s oldest and most influential cultural institution when the “exceptional” (Los Angeles Times) Israel Philharmonic returns to the Knight Concert Hall, led by music director Lahav Shani, one of the most talked-about young talents in the international music scene.

Known as the “Heartbeat of a Nation,” the IP stands as a powerful symbol of freedom and peace in its role as the cultural emissary of Israel. Ever since its first concert conducted by Arturo Toscanini in 1936, the orchestra has been associated with the greatest names in classical music, including Leonard Bernstein and Zubin Mehta. Now, Lahav Shani, the orchestra’s first native Israeli music director, leads the orchestra like a “single instrument of unstoppable force, not a collection of individuals” (Los Angeles Times) and yet has the “especially beautiful ability to give individual players and sections the space to shine” (The Jerusalem Post).
