Israeli composer jazzes up Manila
MANILA, Philippines - Israeli composer Yaron Gottfried recently partnered with the Manila Symphony Orchestra in a concert hosted by the Embassy of Israel. Gottfried, along with musicians Yonatan Oleiski and Tal Gamlieli, fused the musical genres of classical and jazz.
Decked in black, the Manila Symphony Orchestra along with Maestro Gottfried swayed the audience with two timeless suites including: Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky and the self-written Capriol Jazz Suite.
Among the invited guests were well-known personalities from the government, academe, business circle and the Israeli community. Israeli Ambassador Menashe Bar-On welcomed the guests to the event.
Mestro Gottfried has performed all around the world and delighted many with his unique music — and at the same time, directs the Nataniya-Kibbtuz Orchestra.
