On a Personal Note with pianist Prof. Orit Wolf at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art

Two curated series: the 17th season of the Morning Series – Thursdays at 11:00 AM, and the 13th season of the Evening Series – Tuesdays at 7:30 PM.

This year’s theme examines the dynamic between interior and exterior experience – introspection and openness, solitude and community – reflecting on the relationship between spirituality and physical presence, prayer and gratitude.

The Evening Series offers selected highlights from the Morning programs in a live concert format that integrates direct dialogue with the audience. Each program features leading guest artists from Israel and abroad.

The series spans classical masterworks, cross-cultural repertoire, original compositions, and contemporary arrangements, creating meaningful artistic encounters across styles and backgrounds.

It is more than a concert series; it is a distinctive interdisciplinary platform.

Guest Artists:

Tel Aviv Soloist Ensemble, Barak Tal, Hagai Shaham, Ofir Peres, Shmuel Elbaz, Daniel Wais, Iri Rikin, Bat-Dor Be’er Sheva Dance School, Dror Tidhar, Mika Zur, Nimrod Grinboim, Renana Levin, Fernando Seixas, Gilad Dobrecky, Shir Kabilis, Tal Zilber & Michelle Bushkova.
