Bass and Jazz Musical Evening

Some voices simply sound. And some stay with you after the final chord…

Lev Elgardt is the owner of a rare voice—a basso profondo—and a graduate of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory and the Mariinsky Theatre Academy of Young Singers. A laureate of international competitions and Grand Prix winner in Berlin, he is an Israeli opera soloist who has taken part in numerous concerts, opera productions, and festivals in Israel and abroad.

Yakov Muravin is the project’s musical director—a pianist who combines classical training, rock drive, and jazz freedom. He is one of the leading bandleaders on the Israeli scene.

The concert will be graced by singer Deborah Benasouli (France–Israel), one of the country’s leading jazz vocalists. She is the winner of the Jazz Diva competition and a participant in international festivals. In 2017, together with Yakov Muravin, she won a blues competition in Israel and represented the country in Memphis.

The concert will feature virtuoso musicians:

• Igor Senderov (alto saxophone), winner of the B-Jazz International competition and a graduate of Saint Louis College of Music in Rome;
• Valery Rovinsky (bass guitar, double bass);
• Bar Shenav (drums), a graduate of Berklee College of Music.

The program will include original compositions, original jazz arrangements, romances, Yiddish songs, and famous hits from Muslim Magomaev’s repertoire.

Come and listen to music born at the intersection of tradition, improvisation, and three cultures. It is an evening that will make you want to say: “Yes, now that’s jazz.”
