The German radio station Deutschlandfunk Kultur chose us for the radio broadcast about the last Jeruslam International Chamber Music Festival.
In this special program you can hear us play the world premiere of Omri Abram’s new piece, Iridescence. It was written especially for us and opened the entire festival.

Roy’s Fantasies
Berlin premiere of Fantasies, the first show in Roy's new project, "Music # Beyond":
Fantasies is is a blindfolded gourmet dinner in dialogue with music - inviting the audience to join a journey of tastes, sounds and smells. Each of the 6 Fantasies for baroque flute by Telemann has inspired a dish - and corresponds with it, while the idea is to deprive the visual aspect in order to enhance the experience of the other senses.
This show is expected to arrive to Israel next January, click on the picture for more details.
Fantasies in Berlin, soon in Israel
