Save the date! The 10th Felicja Blumental International Music Festival 19th – 24th May 2008

Noam Ben Zeev, Haaretz, May 2007“It’s great how the Felicja Blumental Music Festival justifies the festivity in its name and presents musical works which never would have normally been heard in Israel, for example the Piano Concerto No. 4 by Beethoven, arranged for sextet by the composer himself.”

Hanoch Ron, Yediot, May 2007“When the young English members of the Armonico Consort sing, marvellous champagne flows out…..the hall was illuminated. These English singers compare to a Persian carpet, full of colours”

Hagai Hitron, Haaretz, May 2007“L’Arpeggiata’s ensemble brings great happiness with its visit. A special great thank you to the founder and Artistic Director of the festival, Annette Celine and its director, Avigail Arnheim – they spoiled us again by again presenting Christina Pluhar’s ensemble this year.”

Yossi Schiffman, Habama, May 2007“The Felicja Blumental Music Festival established itself as a quality brand. The Israeli audience realise that they can count on Annette Celine and Avigail Arnheim’s taste for the future of festivals in Israel. Next year the festival will celebrate its 10th Anniversary, let’s hope that it will keep the same quality it has possessed until now.”

Ury Epstein, Jerusalem Post, May 2007“At this year’s Felicja Blumental festival, mezzo-soprano Stephanie d’Oustrac, one of France’s outstanding young singers, presented a selection of operatic pieces by Luigi Rossi, an unjustifiably almost forgotten composer of the early Italian Baroque…one hopes that this, her first visit to this country, will not be her last.”
