We hear that Lahav Shani, music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Israeli Philharmonic, married Miri Saadon yesterday in Berlin.

Miri, a clarinetist in the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, posted that she is ‘celebrating our wedding with Lahav Shani in Berlin, Germany.’

She adds: ‘A perfect day with my forever best friend. Lahav, You make my heart smile, I love you ❤️’

We understand the wedding took place in the garden of Daniel Barenboim and Elena Bashkirova.

    Congratulations! Lahav Shani is truly a great conductor. I remember a superb Schubert 9th with his Rotterdam forces at the Concertgebouw and hope that they will be able to present Bruckner 9th next Fall at the Bozar in Brussels.

    How wonderful! – the uniting of two loving soulmates in marriage.

    How does the Psalmist put it? —

    “!זה היום עשה ה’, נגילה ונשמחה בו”

    “This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice therein!”

    Mazal tov, dear Miri, dear Lahav.

  • Good News says:

    A not insignificant number of downward thumbs to contributions to this good-news post so far. Is that disapproval on musical grounds, or perhaps reflecting a negative view of marriage as an institution, or something else perhaps? Let’s hear it..

      It’s called jealousy, some people just can’t be happy for others. Just don’t pay attention, all best 🙂

    • Enquiring Mind says:

      My analysis shows that the comment referring to the groom as a “great conductor” precipitated the vast majority of the down votes. The rest of the down votes could be done by as few as 2 people. Maybe ex’s? Because if people with a negative view of marriage had voted there would be a whole lot more down votes.
