A concert by Gil Shohat and Eli Luzon at the Netanya Cultural Center. The show combines classical, pop, and Middle Eastern music.
Maestro Gil Shohat Hosts Eli Luzon for the First Time
A surprising and innovative musical summit on one stage, as Maestro Gil Shohat hosts soul giant Eli Luzon for a concert in which the boundaries between classical and popular music, and between East and West, disappear.
Under Shohat’s conducting and artistic direction, Luzon’s iconic songs are given new and moving life through brilliant, rich orchestrations.
The highlight comes in powerful performances of the hits “What a Country,” “The Fruit of Your Garden,” and “Rain,” transformed from Mediterranean pop songs into sweeping musical dramas accompanied by the Polyphony Ensemble.
Luzon’s rough, moving voice blends with the orchestral sound with surprising precision, creating a connection that went straight to the hearts of the audience.
