Night after night of great music at the Rishon LeZion Festival from October 1 – 6, 2012!

Highlights include a special tribute to Yossi Banai on October 4 at Hechal HaTarbut at 21:00. In 2006, Banai was working on a new album. He had written the lyrics and selected the compositions for the songs he planned to record, but did not live to complete the task. After his death in May 2006, Helicon initiated the project of completing the album with Ehud Banai, Yuval Banai, Arkadi Duchin, Micha Shitrit, Shlomi Shaban, Corinne Alal, Maor Cohen, and Peter Roth recording the songs. This project will have its stage premiere at the Rishon LeZion festival.

Rishon LeZion’s annual wine festival is today as much a music festival, with performances by leading Israeli musicians. The full program is available online, here are some highlights:
