Haifa <> Weimar:
CARAVAN ORCHESTRA
Exchange Project with the Arab-Jewish Orchestra from Haifa, 23 July – 10 August 2017
This Summer 2017, Yiddish Summer Weimar/other music e.V., in cooperation with Hochschule für Musik Weimar, is offering an orchestral project for instrumentalists up to 26-years-old with a good background in Classical, Jazz, Folk, or Early Music.
Jewish, Arabic, and European music are part of an often-overlooked historical, transnational cultural matrix, which the project will make visible once more. Together with Ilya Shneyveys, a long-time instructor for Yiddish Summer, a 15-piece ensemble will fly on 23 July 2017 to Israel. There they will work with Arabic music specialist Jiryis Murkus Ballan and the Arab-Jewish Orchestra to develop an evening-length concert program dealing with the intersection of European, Jewish, and Arabic music and their mutual influences. On the first of August, the whole orchestra will travel to Weimar and continue to work and rehearse. In addition, there will be cultural programs in both Israel and Germany.
Concert dates:
Aug 9 Wed 7 p.m. @Rathaussaal (YSW goes Erfurt)

The project "CARAVAN ORCHESTRA – A Transnational Journey of Musical and Cultural Discovery" is supported by a grant from the Stiftung Deutsch-Israelisches Zukunftsforum |
