Benjamin Zander: The founder and 30 years' conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra is already familiar with the Israeli musical scene, as he has been repetitively invited to conduct the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra in the near past. He is in great demand worldwide as a conductor, as a teacher and as a gifted lecturer. His radiant personality together with his deep insights and sound knowledge are sure to create a significant impact on his students, even within the limited framework of a single masterclass - such like the one he'll be holding in our school. His book "The art of possibility"- which he wrote in association with his Companion Rosamunde Stone Zander has been translated in dozens of languages, including Hebrew. It's a book of musical lessons that are lessons for life.
