Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

On December 24th, 2011, one of the world’s most renowned classical orchestras, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, celebrated the 75th anniversary of its founding. The film portrays the orchestra and its eventful history, which correlates both with the history of Israel and with the 20th-century Jewry. Interwoven with individual biographies and archival footage the IPO’s 75 years of history will be brought back to life in concerts with Arturo Toscanini, Arthur Rubinstein, Leonard Bernstein, Isaac Stern, Zubin Mehta, Daniel Barenboim and Itzhak Perlman. Returning to the present, the film will accompany the Israel Philharmonic on some of its current rehearsals, concerts, and tours.
