Wartime changes at the Israel Philharmonic
OrchestrasFrom our special correspondent in Tel Aviv:
The Israel Philharmonic had to grapple with a postponement of the season opening for two months because of the murderous attack by Hamas on October 7. It has also expanded its schedule with additional concerts with musicians who expressed the wish to perform in Israel in these difficult times: Maxim Vengerov, Igor Levit and Semyon Bychkov.
Now Omer Meir Wellber who was due to conduct the subscription series this week has cancelled with COVID. Music director Lahav Shani will replace him. Shostakovich symphony no. 6 is out, Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances in.
