David Broza News

On January 7, David Broza brings his varied musical explorations together to Town Hall in a single, signature performance, David Broza & Friends. 

This past Friday night the Kiryat Motzkin Theatre Hall opened its 9th season of the successful classical series 'Classical Excitement', led by music director Gil Shohat, which truly lived up to its distinguished reputation.

Pedro 'n' Pip is a raucous, uplifting rock 'n' roll odyssey about a tenacious ten-year-old girl, named Pip, and a 'rockoctopus', Pedro, who she meets while scuba diving after an oil spill in the Gulf.

A 9th season, new and bold, of the north's successful music series, from the conductor, composer and pianist Gil Shohat. For the first time the season will host the singer and artist David Broza along with his best songs, will unite Israeli theatre queens Leah Koenig and Miriam Zohar in a conjoint show, will present Swan Lake with the Israel Ballet as well as a major virtuosi show, a show of songs by Ehud Manor sung by the country's greatest singers and a choirs show with famous chorales from Italian operas. Such a season has never been before!

The 'Napa Seder-Beyond 4 Cups' transcends religion and highlights the cultural connection to the historic Jewish liberation from slavery and universal struggle with freedom. Wine is a prominent theme in the traditional Passover Seder, and Michael Dorf, City Winery owner and founder wants to ask the question 'why on this night in Napa should we only have 4 cups of wine?' Mr. Dorf has produced his unique celebrity driven Seder in NY since 1988, taken it to Chicago in 2012 and will premier it in Napa on March 29th at City Winery Napa -- one week prior to the official start of the holiday.

Top Chef's Tom Colicchio, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, The Roots' Captain Kirk Douglas and former Saturday Night Live bandleader G.E. Smith are among the celebrities slated to join over 150 guitarists in a massive six-string symphony benefitting music in education programs.

It began last month with Shattered Shrines, a startlingly original, standing-room only event held in an overheated community center in the East Village on the eve of the Jewish fast day - the 9th of Av - on a day that temperatures in the city climbed to near 100 degrees.
