	Israel Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta Celebrate with Lang Lang at Carnegie Hall
		The Palestine Orchestra — renamed in 1948 The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra — was founded in 1936 by the Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman in response to the growing shadow of Nazi repression in Europe.
		The orchestra remained — to its credit — muted throughout most of the concerto, although some of the pianist’s mid range, especially in the detailed fast passagework, was muffled.
		The orchestra swayed and pulsated to the music as one and sounded like a single instrument in the way great orchestras are supposed to sound, but rarely do.

	The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
		Most of the original members of the orchestra, then called the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra, were assembled by the Polish Jewish violinist Bronislaw Huberman, and were fortunate enough to get out of Europe before the Holocaust began.
		Re-named the IPO after the establishment of Israel in 1948, the orchestra has always acted as the country's foremost cultural ambassador, carrying the joy of music and the message of peace from Israel to music lovers around the world.
		Zubin Mehta recalls that one of his most moving moments was when the IPO agreed to play in Germany in 1971 and he was able to conduct "Hatikvah," Israel's national anthem, in the country that had unintentionally caused the establishment of the IPO through its persecution of Jews.

	Classical, pop musicians declining to perform in Israel
		The orchestra announced Monday that it was forced to cancel an eight- concert tour in the United States next month, including a date in San Francisco, because no insurance company would cover the performances because of concerns about possible terrorist attacks, said an orchestra spokeswoman, Dalia Meroz.
		Israel also used to be a regular stop on the pop music circuit, hosting the likes of Madonna, Eric Clapton, R.E.M. and Santana.
		Although there is little evidence of an internationally coordinated anti- Israel boycott of the sort aimed at South Africa in the 1980s, a sense of isolation is taking hold here, along with a concern among Israelis that the country is being shunned, dealing a blow to its national psyche and its decades-long drive for acceptance.

		...After all, the Israel Philharmonic is a young organization, and in its fourteen years of existence it has lived in continual crisis...
		...Generally, the orchestra's technical and artistic standards are high, with its excellent string choir the strongest asset: the first violins are capable of an almost singing eloquence, and there is a noble sonority in the sound of its cello section and a nice quality to its woodwinds and brasses...

		This work was commissioned by the Dutch-Jew Bernard Bronkhorst as a monument in sound to the victims of the Holocaust and to the builders of Israel.

		In the penultimate concert of its current Barbican series, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conserved most of its energy for the British premiere of Noam Sheriff’s Mechaye Hamethim.
