Lecture-concert: "Israeli art-song: between fantasies and realities"

This lecture-concert follows the history of the Israeli art song. Songs for voice and piano setting Hebrew poems have been composed since the early 20th century, reflecting Israel's rich and complicated culture. Mezzo-soprano Iris Malkin and pianist Ido Ariel present this fascinating genre's contrasting trends, over 100 years of tensions between West and East, Zionism and Post-Zionism, Classical, and Popular music.
