Kol Yisrael: A Virtual Benefit Concert Series to support Israeli Artists

With the current situation in Israel, most professional Israeli musicians have suffered a particular blow to their livelihood, on top of the national and personal trauma every Israeli is experiencing. Performances, tours, and students have been canceled and disappeared. The most successful and talented musicians are those who do not have “day jobs” but rely on their art for their livelihood. We are uniquely positioned to support these artists during this moment of conflict by advertising their availability for zoom lessons, as creating opportunities for online concerts, with an opportunity to interview the performers for a deeper understanding of who they are as human beings, Israeli citizens, and artists.

April 11th 8pm EST
