press release:
Due to tightened travel restrictions for Israel as a result of the SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus), the Weekend Tel Aviv – Berlin will not take place as planned. The concert on 13 March conducted by Ilan Volkov must unfortunately be cancelled without replacement. Tickets already purchased may be returned for reimbursement.
The concert on 14 March will feature Avi Avital (mandolin), Ksenija Sidorova (accordion) and Itamar Doari (percussion) as well as the Omer Klein Trio. The trio SHALOSH must unfortunately cancel its appearance.
Didn’t a famous Austrian/German once proclaim that Jews were transmitters of all sorts of bad diseases? I would guess that Tel Aviv is actually safer than Berlin.
