The Unbroken Circle: Keeping music and friendship alive between Haifa & Weimar.
Caravan Orchestra & Choir is in its seventh year of musical exchange between the diverse communities of Weimar and Haifa. Young musicians from both places explore a program of Yiddish, Ottoman, Greek and Middle Eastern music in a multicultural and diverse environment. The program focuses on finding the connections that already exist between musical traditions that are often seen as unrelated, as well as celebrating the varied musical and cultural backgrounds that participants themselves bring to the ensemble. This year, the Caravan Orchestra & Choir is once again led by Polina Shepherd alongside the international team of Eftychia Mitritsa, Mehmet Ali Orman and Zoë Aqua
