The Weimar-Jerusalem Project

The  Weimar-Jerusalem Project is a unique German-Israeli collaboration. The orchestra, a joint undertaking of the Weimar and Jerusalem Academies, half of the players being Israeli and half of them German, is setting out on a concert tour that will begin in Germany and end in Israel. The program is a story in sound, dedicated to the history of Jewish composers in central Europe from the end of the 18th century up to the Holocaust, the event that would sever the continuity of their involvement and contribution.
