A special production for the Liturgical Festival in Nazareth, combining liturgical music, modern Hebrew classics, original instrumentals and more. With the Arab-Jewish Polyphony Quartet. The repertoire will include works of a ceremonial nature, special adaptations of ancient Piyutim (such as Yadid Nefesh and Tsam'a Nafshi), alongside modern "Piuotim" (such as Meir Ariel's Mode Ani), which are used as a contemporary prayer in the mouths of many Israelis in our generation. This will be played alongside instrumental works and arrangements of well-known songs, that the duo has embraced to their repertoire during in a dozen years of musical collaboration.
