The Tel Aviv Festival – four days of multidisciplinary, multicultural celebrations of music and art curated by accomplished musician Shlomi Shaban – will take place from November 5-8 at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, with the opening at the Charles Bronfman Auditorium and the closing concert at the Barby Club.
More than 120 artists and creators will perform, taking part in 40 different performances. Throughout the museum, performances and installations will be hosted, inviting audiences to freely wander between galleries and spaces offering a vibrant cultural experience. Every evening, open-air performances will take place in the museum plaza (weather permitting).
The festival will open with a gala at the Charles Bronfman Auditorium called “Like a Wildflower,” a tribute to Chava Alberstein, celebrating 50 years of her iconic album.
Performance highlights
Performers include Ester Rada, Efrat Gosh, Dana Berger, Miri Mesika, Netta Barzilai, Ninet Tayeb, Si Heiman, Alma Zack, and Rona Kenan.
Among the other highlights will be Sounds of Yemen, a tribute to legendary Yemenite poet Aharon Amram with guests Liron Amram, Uri Brauner Kinrot, and Yehuda Keisar.
Shaban will also perform with guest Shlomo Gronich, Shuli Rand will present a theatrical musical show, and Keren Ann will appear.
The festival’s closer will be Zehava Ben’s birthday concert, with special guest Dudu Tassa.
“Working on this first edition reminded me once again how many extraordinary artists live and create in Tel Aviv-Yafo and throughout Israel,” said Shaban.
