Mission Statement
Our mission is to initiate processes of upholding the values of quality and multicultural music. To Foster appreciation, increasing knowledge and understanding of the music language among young people and the general public in Israel. Thus to influence a better society, which is more tolerant and open to all kinds of people and cultures.
Activities
This unique orchestra consists of twenty-four young musicians, instrumentalists and singers, most of which are students at various music academies in Israel. They are volunteers, aged sixteen to thirty-four, coming from all parts of the country, Arabs, Jews and Druse. The orchestra meets every Thursday for a rehearsal in Tel-Aviv, playing a repertoire of newly composed or arranged works taken from Oriental Arabic or Jewish tradition. The works are adapted for the mixed ensemble of Western String Instruments and piano with Eastern instruments such as Oud, Darbuka and Arab Violin.
