Andalusian Orchestra
HaTizmoret HaAndalusit Ashdod has become HaTizmoret HaAndalusit Yerushalayim, and very proud the director is to be associated with Jerusalem.
Monday's concert at the Jerusalem Theatre was a tribute to the late Selim Halali (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salim_Halali ), a French singer born in Algeria.
The Rivke Crown auditorium was a great venue for this concert, not so large as to dilute the effect of the enthsiastic audienc singing along with the help of words transmitten to cellphones. We watched the singers, instrumental soloists, and orchestra rather than phones. In any case, almost all the lyrics were Arabic, though transmitted in Hefrew letters, and many in the audience already knew the words.
The conductor got a good aerobic workout, and we had a most enjoyable efening. There's huge energy in this music.
