DirectRooms.com – Attend Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival during 3 to 16 September 201

The theme of this year’s festival is to commemorate the anniversaries of Gustav Mahler and Franz Liszt. The chamber music of Beethoven will also be celebrated and the festival organisers have commissioned a special piece of work by the German composer Matthias Pintscher in honour of Beethoven. Another area of musical development that the 2011 Festival will honour is the work of the Jewish composers of the Holocaust, those whose lives were so tragically cut short and therefore deprived the world of their talent.

The 2011 JICMF has invited many renowned artists to perform, these include Elena Bashkirova, Emmanuel Pahud and Robert Holl. Friday September 9th will provide entertainment of a lighter nature with a special cabaret performance by Steve Ross. His musical repertoire will consist of the works of Gershwin, Coward, Berlin and Cole Porter.
