  • Yoni Rechter
    Yoni Rechter Teev Events Inc. 16501 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91436 Tel (818) 483-8818, Fax (818) 482-2708 www.teev.com Biography Composer, pianist, singer and arranger, Yoni Rechter has made a major contribution to Israeli music in a career spanning more than 40 years, and is considered among Israel’s most important musicians. In the dozens of songs that Yoni composed, he created a wide variety of styles, incorporating numerous influences, from Sixties pop (mostly Beatles) to Jazz, Israeli to classical, east and west, into a fascinating personal statement. Rechter always composes with originality, great sensitivity to text, and for the best performers. He is considered the mark of quality and integrity in Israeli music. Yoni’s music is sophisticated and ever unexpected, constantly shifts tones and beats, and his classical piano training is evident. Many of his compositions have become staples of Israeli music, and one has on several occasions been voted the most popular Israeli song of all times. Yoni has worked closely with many of Israel’s top artists, including Arik Einstein, Gidi Gov, and Yehudit Ravitz. Perhaps his two most well-known collaborations are the legendary Kaveret group (a.k.a. Poogy), and Hakeves Ha-16 (The 16th Sheep), released in 1978 and still Israel’s most-popular album of children’s songs. A sought-after musical director, producer and arranger, Yoni has worked on numerous musicals, films, dance and albums. Rechter has also written classical music, and the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra performed a concert dedicated to his songs and compositions. Hebrew University, Honoris causa Born in Tel Aviv, Yoni started playing piano at the age of 7, and decided to be a musician at age 12 when he discovered the Beatles.

  • Classical Music and the Hebrew Song Repertoire YOSEF GOLDENBERG
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Classical Music and the Hebrew Song Repertoire YOSEF GOLDENBERG The repertoire of Hebrew folk and popular songs has various links to the tradition of classical music, some of which we will examine here. These links include: occasional textual references, musical quotations, stylistic imitations, biographical relationships of Israeli art music composers to the folk or popular repertoire and vice versa, classical performances of Israeli songs, stylistic features shared with classical music (much more prominent in Israeli songs than in Anglo-American pop-rock music), and occasionally even quasi-classical artistic devices (not necessarily in songs whose style resembles classical music). References to and Use of Classical Music in Hebrew Songs Textual references to classical music appear in many Hebrew songs, especially those that are humoristic in style. Classical music generally serves as a stereotypic symbol of high art, whether it is being praised for being exemplary, or blamed for being arrogant.1 Specific composers mentioned in song texts are usually interchangeable; specific works are hardly ever mentioned, and, when they are, the reference does not 1 For example, Beethoven’s name is mentioned as a symbol of genius in Ata Pele [You are a Miracle] (Chava Alberstein, 1989); a hostile approach appears in Be-Gova ha-‘Einayim [At Eye Level] (Uzi Chitman, 1995). I refer to the names of the composer or lyrics writer (according to context) and year of composition or release. I found many of these details in MOOMA’s listings at http://www.mooma.com, or at ACUM [the Israeli ASCAP] site at http://www.acum.org.

  • Keshet Chaim
    Company Biography Keshet Chaim (Hebrew for Rainbow of Life) is an American-Israeli contemporary dance company, dedicated to celebrating the inclusive spirit of Israeli culture and Judaism throughout the world. Founded in 1983 by Artistic Director Eytan Avisar, Keshet Chaim creates, develops and presents original choreography which fuses contemporary Israeli dance with Jewish folk dance traditions from across the Diaspora. Influenced by the multi-ethnic roots of the Jewish movement, music, art, poetry and culture, Keshet Chaim combats prejudice and anti-Semitism through entertainment, community outreach, children’s workshops, and dance education. Keshet Chaim “forges a unique identity…one of the few touring American dance groups committed exclusively to Israeli culture and dance,” according to the LA Daily News. Performance highlights: In the early years Keshet Chaim performed in two tours in Israel, including the Karmiel Festival, 1984 Summer Olympics, LA Music Center, Los Angeles Festival, Shrine Auditorium, CAJE convention, International Hadassah convention and Universal Amphitheatre. In 1991, Keshet Chaim toured Mexico and cities across Florida. In 1993, the company toured San Diego, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Utah, and a weekend at sea on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. The company was featured at the L.A. Dance Roots Festival and the L.A. County Holiday Show, broadcast live from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on KCET, and an intercultural program at the Church on the Way. In 1994, Keshet Chaim performed as part of Dance Kaleidoscope at the Ford Amphitheater in Los Angeles. 1995 featured performances at Poway Performing Arts Center, Valley Jewish Festival, University of Southern California, and the opening ceremonies for the International Maccabiah Games, as well as creating dance education programs for the LA Unified School District.
