Each year a small number of the Academy's dance students are chosen to audition for the Ensemble. The students take part in a work process and learn Israeli repertoire under the guidance of leading choreographers.
The ensemble operates within the framework of yearly studies and is a stage for those who wish to concentrate on performance.
The Conservatory is a leading institution of its kind in Israel. Our mission is to provide the best education in music and dance to all gifted children, regardless of their economic means. All proceeds from the concert are devoted to establishing a scholarship fund for our students.

The main participants in the Opera Workshop are students of the Vocal Department. The workshop stages at least one complete opera each year in cooperation with the Academy Orchestra. Singers of the workshop have participated in various operas, such as The Magic Flute, Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, The Impresario, Dido and Aeneas, and La Boheme. Many of the workshop's graduates have joined opera companies in Israel and abroad.
About the Ensemble
Emil Eibinder founded the Folk Music Ensemble in 2001 adding another top-quality performing group to the Faculty of Performing Arts. The Ensemble is made up of 12 Arab and Jewish students who study in the String Department, the Wind Department, the Jazz Department and the Oriental Music Department.
The Ensemble specializes in Balkan music from Romania, Hungary, Turkey, Moldova, and Yugoslavia, as well as Israeli folk music. Since its inception, the Ensemble has performed all over Israel to high acclaim and enthusiastic audiences.
The Vocal Department trains singers in the various areas of vocal music (opera, lieder, and oratorio) in a number of languages and styles. Each student also receives lessons in voice development as well as training in accompaniment. Each year the Opera Workshop presents a number of stage productions together with the chamber ensemble or orchestra, and the students receive acting lessons.
