Melancholy Song – Nathan Yonatan
'Sing-along with the Orchestra' series
A series of public singing performances in the Jerusalem Theatre's Concert Hall
With the participation of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra conducted by Eldad Shrem
Conductor: Eldad Shrem
Featuring: Hani Dinur, Dalit Kahana, Tal Sondak, and Gilan Shahaf
Nathan Yonatan, one of Israel's most cherished poets, writers, and translators, gave voice to thousands of songs. Many soared on the wings of melodies composed by Israel's finest musicians—not only for their beauty and rare sensitivity, but because his verses carried a natural pulse- an intrinsic rhythm that practically begged to be sung. Time and again, his words found their way into music that became instant classics, woven into the very fabric of Israeli culture—songs that still beat like a national heartbeat, irreplaceable and unforgettable.
The show will feature "Chofim" (Riverbanks), "Ha-Ish Hahu" (That Man), "Ne'esaf Tishrei" (Tishrei Has Gone By), "Dugit Nosa'at" (Fishermen's Boat), "Anita and Juan," and more.
