This concert brings together a unique musical ensemble of Israeli, Moroccan, Yemenite and Ethiopian musicians and singers, led by one of Israel's all time favorite female vocalists Mika Karni.
Based on Song of Songs, one of the world's greatest love songs, Mika composed and re-arranged the original biblical lyrics to convey the story in a modern, intimate and personal way, taking the listener into a deep and emotional experience. The ensemble's sound combines traditional Jewish melodies with African Ethnic rhythms and a taste of folk/singer-songwriter qualities, creating a musical landscape of modern Israel.
Tickets: $20 in advance, $25 at the door
Student tickets: $15
Presented in partnership with the Israeli Consulate.
