Founder and conductor Avner Biron is credited with bringing the Israel Camerata Jerusalem Orchestra to the highest standard in Israeli musical life, and has won worldwide recognition for it. Zvi Plesser has appeared as a soloist with some the worlds leading orchestras and conductors the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
The two programs included Dvořák’s impassioned cello concerto, Ukrainian/Israel composer Mark Koptyman’s landmark works Beyond all this… and Kaddish – inspired by the intricate melodic beauty of Jewish sacred and folk music, Haydn’s joyous Symphony No.85 and the pulse-quickening highly virtuosic Cello Concerto in C major.
