Israel Philharmonic Orchestra travels to Boston

Stephanie Janes, Neighbor

On Thursday March 20th, the Celebrity Series of Boston will present the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta.

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1936 by Bronislaw Huberman and its inaugural concert, on 26 December 1936, was conducted by Arturo Toscanini. The IPO plays in subscription series, including a special annotated Youth Concert Series, special concerts, concerts as part of the "Arts for the People" project throughout Israel, and special concerts for IDF soldiers at their outposts.

The IPO annually tours the world's cultural centers and its prestigious festivals. Israel's creative artists are promoted by many IPO premieres of works by Israeli composers. The IPO also contributes to the absorption of new immigrants and includes in its ranks many new immigrant musicians. The orchestra has hosted most of the world's greatest conductors and soloists, and it endeavors to develop Israeli artists and young talents from Israel and abroad.
