Jerusalem Symphony OrchestraLeon Botstein, Music Director and Conductor Robert McDuffie, soloist
Founded in the 1940s as the Israel Broadcast Authority radio orchestra, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest and most important musical institutions in Israel. Under the tirelessly creative vision of music director Leon Botstein, the orchestra has gained world renown for innovative programming that integrates the bold spirit and multi-ethnic identity of Israel’s diverse population with the historical and cultural context of its ancient capital. In a fascinating program exploring the American Jewish diaspora, the orchestra and Grammy-nominated violinist Robert McDuffie make their Royce Hall debut, performing Erich Walter Sternberg's The Twelve Tribes of Israel, Bernstein’s Serenade, and Copland’s Symphony No. 3. |
