Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is on sale now!
Since its founding 85 years ago, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) has been associated with some of the greatest names in classical music. Its first concert, held December 26, 1936 in Tel Aviv, was conducted by Italy’s Arturo Toscanini, who at the time was one of the world’s most famous musicians. Iconic American conductor Leonard Bernstein first led the orchestra in November 1948 and continued to perform with it throughout his life. In 1977, acclaimed Indian-born conductor Zubin Mehta became the IPO’s music director and held the position until his retirement in 2019. Glenn Gould, Kurt Masor, Gil Shaham and Plácido Domingo are among the other star musicians to have performed with the orchestra.
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Miami led by Lahav Shani, the 33-year-old protégé of legendary conductor Zubin Mehta. The concert will mark Shani’s Arsht Center debut, and the orchestra will perform music by Prokofiev, including Romeo and Juliet.
