An immersive jazz series featuring top local artists, blending music and art in a unique museum setting.

An innovative Israeli trio that blends jazz, classical music, Israeli folk, rock, and pop from a fresh and diverse perspective.

The trio members — Yonatan Nizan (piano), Oz Yechieli (double bass), and David Dagmi (drums) — released an album together in 2020 and continue to attract growing interest from audiences in Israel and abroad.

The trio is led by Yonatan Nizan — an innovative and creative pianist with a classical education and a strong connection to the roots of jazz and Israeli tradition. His style draws inspiration from traditional melodies, oriental sounds with Balkan and Irish influences, progressive rock, and the classical piano repertoire.

A single photograph of Ilya Gefter’s great-grandfather, shown among Soviet soldiers in the ruins of Berlin after Nazi Germany’s surrender, served as the starting point for a body of work that moves between personal narrative and collective history.

In recent years, Gefter has been working on “The Front,” a series of paintings addressing war, memory, and the way past events continue to echo in the present.

During the lecture, Gefter will share the sources of inspiration behind his work, his creative process, and the intersection between life, history, and painting.

Recently, two paintings from “The Front” series were added to the museum’s collection.

Twenty-six years after the release of their collaborative album Art of the Moment, two of Israel’s most distinctive and influential voices in jazz and free improvisation reunite on stage.

The collaboration between saxophonist and composer Albert Beger and guitarist and composer Menachem Zibziner began in 2000 and resulted in the acclaimed album Art of the Moment. Since then, each has continued to develop a distinctive musical language—Beger with fourteen studio albums and Zibziner with ten of his own. Now they come together once again, bringing to the stage a mature and compelling artistic dialogue.

The performance moves along the captivating spectrum between Contemporary Jazz, Spiritual Jazz, and Experimental Jazz – an immersive musical experience of improvisation and emotion.

Quartet members:
Albert Beger – saxophones | Menachem Zibziner – guitar
Asaf Shachory – double bass | Nitzan Birenboim – drums
