An Italian celebration. Best-loved tunes by Vivaldi, Verdi and Rossini, played in quick succession at a carnival pace, with the Jerusalem Festival Orchestra and soprano Maria Yoffe. Music Pearls, founded and headed by Yelena Baydek, present concerts in a variety of styles: Baroque, classical, liturgy, jazz, kleizmer, Irish, Balkan, country, Flamenco and more, including performances for children. Many of the concerts are held by candlelight or torchlight, in a romantic atmosphere, at weekends and on holidays, in picturesque buildings, churches and caves.
