Barrack's Israel Club proudly presented Shlomo Gronich, Israeli master musician and founder of the Sheba Choir.
Mr. Gronich and the choir highlighted Yom HaAzmaut festivities at our school on Tuesday, April 20. The choir consists of children from the Ethiopian Jewish community, mostly new immigrants, who now live in the Netanya area.
About Shlomo Gronich: Master Composer, Virtuoso Musician
With the soul and energy of a child in the body of an internationally acclaimed performing artist, Gronich embraces his piano and bewitches the tones. His entire being becomes total music, boundaries are diffused. Always surprising, soaring and floating, innovative and captivating, soulful and sensitive, enthusing humour and innocence.
Shlomo Gronich is a highly prolific, gifted, multi-faceted artist. He composes classical music, performed by leading ensembles and orchestras in Israel and abroad, as well as pop, jazz, world music, and music for cinema, theater and dance. Among the many prizes and awards he has received is the "ACUM" (Israel Society of Authors, Composers, and Publishers) Prize for his contribution to musical life in Israel. He recorded his first LP in 1971 and has since released another 18 records and CDs.
Gronich is an exciting performer - as pianist and vocalist - as soloist, and in collaboration with numerous artists, and is one of Israel's most well-known and original musicians. Throughout his extensive musical career he has acquired a reputation as a unique, incomparable artist who creates cross-cultural bridges through his master musicianship. He offers a vast repertoire and an array of performances suitable for different audiences.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia helped to bring Shlomo Gronich and the Sheba Choir to Philadelphia and Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy.
