Video by Yuval Kaner - Jerusalem Orchestra E&W Feat. Tom Cohen
The Jerusalem Orchestra East&West is a unique and fascinating cultural phenomenon.
Comprised of musicians from three major religions – celebrated soloists playing authentic Arab instruments, graduates of former USSR music academies and Israeli-born creative youths-the orchestra specializes in music originating in the Middle East, Arab countries,
Andalusia and the Maghreb.

Representing music of western culture are a full string section, ‘Broadwayesque’ brass section, three-percussionist rhythm section and a ‘hip’ bass guitarist. In the front row, representing music of the East, are seven soloists playing exotic traditional instruments – the qanoun, oud, ney flute, Arabic violin, flamenco guitar, mandolin and banjo.

The orchestra initiates artistic collaborations with vocal soloists representing a broad musical spectrum –from liturgical singers (paytanim) and virtuosos in oriental genres, through pop and rock performers, to opera singers.
