Galilee Chamber Orchestra
Since its founding in 2012, the Galilee Chamber Orchestra has proven that music connects. The orchestra unites the best Jewish and Arab musicians from the various professional orchestras of Israel, supplemented with young top talents from the Polyphony Conservatory in Nazareth, a unique training institute partly created with the support of the legendary Daniel Barenboim. Led by pianist and conductor Saleem Ashkar, the Galilee Chamber Orchestra enjoys an international reputation and is regularly invited to festivals worldwide.

Although Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider increasingly fulfils the role of conductor, he also regularly performs as a soloist. His phenomenal violin playing is praised as 'powerful, safe and expressive'; the Austrian newspaper Die Presse even calls him 'the best violinist in the world'. This time, Szeps-Znaider solos in Beethoven's brilliant Violin Concerto. The Galilee Chamber Orchestra also plays Mendelssohn's Third Symphony, nicknamed the 'Scottish' Symphony because of the national Scottish melodies in the second movement.
