Concert Tribute to the Great Female Singers of the World with Shiri Maimon
From a young age, it was clear that Shiri Maimon was a unique and one-of-a-kind stage phenomenon. The child prodigy with the big voice has become one of Israel’s greatest performers, bringing a magical hint of international stardom to local music. After introducing countless hits into our lives, starring on TV shows and series, and shining in musicals from here to Broadway, Shiri Maimon collaborates with the orchestra in a concert that celebrates the great female singers on both sides of the ocean. Join us and the one star who can elegantly bridge between Aretha Franklin and Umm Kulthum, Fairuz, and Billie Holiday, for an evening of captivating female empowerment.

A Colorful Celebration with the Revivo Project
Together with the energetic trio that has become a unique Israeli phenomenon, we will celebrate one of our greatest musical loves – classics from the past century that have circulated in this area and made the entire “neighborhood” dance – the Middle East. These unforgettable songs, which have been bringing us joy for decades, are the pillars of Israeli music and always fun to return to. In the first-ever on-stage meeting between the kings of the celebration and Israel’s leading orchestra, we bring back all these musical treasures – in Hebrew, Greek, Turkish, and Arabic – for the happiest and most uplifting concert in the neighborhood. Are you still sitting down?
The Diamond | Episode I: Be'er Sheva
Songs and Stories Between East and West with Maestro Tom Cohen
It has been almost four decades since two friends, Tom Cohen and Maor Zaguri, played on the streets of Be’er Sheva together. Long before becoming renowned artists, they were children who aspired to conquer the world. In their joint journey, which you are invited to join today, they blur the line between reality and fiction, unveil fascinating cultural treasures, and reveal beautiful wonders created during their artistic encounter. A colorful musical play sets the tone for the “Diamond” series’ first episode. Throughout the show, small anecdotes are interwoven with great stories, accompanied by the soundtrack of the state’s establishment – songs brought with the immigrants and classics created in Israel.
This is a story about Tom and Maor, a story about Be’er Sheva, and a story about us.
Special guests: Maor Zaguri and Elkana Marciano

Greek Laika Celebration with Kostas Karafotis
One of the strongest and most exciting connections in the Mediterranean basin has developed over the years between Greek music and the Israeli audience, and we are thrilled to write another chapter in this beautiful creative collaboration. The orchestra is excited to host Kostas Karafotis, one of the great singers of Laika music in Greece, whose songs have been adapted into Hebrew and become hits (including “Dreaming of You” by Eyal Golan and “Princess” by Omer Adam). Joining the beloved Zeibekiko classics and ballads are two more stars coming from Greece – Manolis Karantinis, the greatest bouzouki player of our time, and Arti Katima, one of the rising and prominent stars of modern Laika.
Special Guest: Arti Katima
