Itzhak Perlman helped the 2017 Israel Philharmonic Orchestra tour get off to a brilliant start last week in New York as a sold-out crowd at Carnegie Hall.
Itzhak Perlman was joined by Pinchas Zukerman, for a special evening featuring an all-Mozart program. Maestro Mehta recently announced that he will be stepping down from his post as Music Director of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in October 2019, marking 51 years of making music together. This one-night-only performance saluted his notable legacy and celebrates his extraordinary achievements as Music Director for Life.
We applaud Maestro Zubin Mehta on this tour that celebrates his unprecedented 50 years conducting this orchestra.
