Additional details
Sham Tov Levi returns to Shevelul, and this time—first time with us—accompanies a trio of string instruments in arrangements that Sham Tov wrote especially for this ensemble, giving his works a new, rich, and uplifting interpretation. Sham Tov sings, plays piano and flute, together with excellent violin, viola and cello players who also sing with Sham Tov on some songs, creating a warm, tender chamber sound and revealing new layers of beauty in his timeless compositions.
The program combines the best‑known songs of Sham Tov with excerpts from his work “Song of Songs”, which he composed for the Od Festival, as well as stunning arrangements of Piazzolla, Bach, and more.
Songs to be performed
Sham Tov Levi hardly needs an introduction. For more than five decades he has been a pillar of Israeli music as a composer, flautist, pianist, singer, and arranger. His works have become staples, and he has collaborated with major Israeli artists, including Arik Einstein, Yehudit Ravitz, Esther Ofri, Yitzhak Kalpter, Shlomo Yidov, Afra Hazeh, and Rivka Zohar.
In addition to his solo career, he was a founder of the legendary ensembles Ktzat Acheret, Shesh VeTzlil Mekavan, and composed music for theater, cinema, and television, including the music for the acclaimed series “Umda HaEsh.”
Watch for a particularly moving evening that showcases the beautiful faces of Israeli‑ness, songs that are the heart of our life’s soundtrack here.
