On the 5th anniversary of the death of the creator, composer and spiritual leader Debbie Friedman, the Israeli Reform Movement is proud to present, at a world premiere, an instrumental tribute to her work. The Classically Arranged Orchestral Suite, written especially for the movement's conference by the young composer Or Oren (member of the Natan-Ya community), presents Debbie Friedman's melodies in a new light and illuminates her prayer in a modern and elegant angle. Performed by an orchestra of about 30 musicians.
Arranger, musical director: Or Oren, with the support of the Reform movement and in collaboration with Debbie Friedman's family.
Kleizmodern
Kleizmodern is a band that includes two singers, a saxophonist and a computer, and performs contemporary electronic arrangements for prayers. The band's vision is to make the Reform prayers accessible as they have been sung for many years in various Reform communities in Israel to a young audience in its spirit, and to give them a dance and party character while combining old and new, traditional and modern.
Among the melodies that are reworked are melodies by Debbie Friedman, Jeff Clapper, Shlomo Carlebach, Uzi Hitman, Zvika Pick and more. The ensemble is led by Noam Sperber and Tali Mann, who are the two musicians who play in the Lev community in Tel Aviv.
Bat Ella
Bat Ella, singer and spiritual accompanist, is a graduate of the Southern Command Band. A secular Israeli, who presents a pluralistic, egalitarian and Israeli Jewry. In her performances in Israel and abroad, Bat Ella sings prayer songs and piyyutim in melodies and arrangements that express the rich musical fabric of the Kibbutz HaGluyot in Eretz Israel.
A show that has the power to bring upliftment, joy, optimism and hope, a show of Israeli soul music with a Jewish flavor.
Quartetcan
Quartetokan is a musical project that brings cultures and peoples together through songs and melodies. The show combines East and West and rarely brings together Bialik and Fairuz, Leah Goldberg. The project grew out of a connection and collaboration between four musicians from different cultures, who were put together into one fascinating show. During the show, the listener goes through a kind of journey in the world which is a mirror of today's multicultural Israeli society. A journey from which we draw cultural richness and a basis for human dialogue, listening and harmony.
Nathaniel Goldberg and the lineup
A musical improvisation celebration for Shabbat led by Nathaniel Goldberg and his band. The show is improvised, and its content is not dictated in advance. The music ranges from quiet, magical, distant and soothing districts to a tribal trance that dances the crowd.
Each performance is a new, intriguing and unknown world, which expresses the creative world of all the members of the ensemble and creates a harmony full of colors, sounds, languages, characters, experiences and depth.
Featuring - Dror Parker - drums and percussion, Alon Amano Campino - guitars, Nimrod Nol - violin, Suf Nicaritin - double bass, Nathaniel Goldberg - vocals.
Mountain ensemble
Northern Wind: A musical journey into the Sabbath, with a mountain ensemble for sacred singing: Rabbi Or Zohar (melodies, guitar singing) Pliza Zohar (harmonium singing) Ofra Imri (cello) Yoav Saban (more).
For several years, Rabbi Or Zohar and his wife Pliza have been working on a musical project with thirteen original melodies of Shabbat prayers, from the reception of Shabbat, through the evening prayer of Shabbat, Shacharit Shabbat to Malva Malka.
The melodies in the project draw from musical traditions from the East and the West, in an authentic Israeli combination of the various musical cultures, and most of them were created directly from a community experience of singing and playing at festivals and communities from Tel Aviv to Tivon and Hararit in the north.
Uriah Bartel
