Zoe about to perform.

22 February 2011 — Today, I had the pleasure of going with my daughter Zoe and her string band to the כנס תזמורות (“kenes tizmorot” – gathering of bands). It was held at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance High School and Conservatory, near the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The Rehovot string band was the youngest of the 4 groups to perform in the afternoon session. Our  players range in age from 5 to 14. String bands from music conservatories in Ashdod and Kiyrat Bialik and the Jerusalem academy also performed in the afternoon session.

Here a is sampling …
