Tania Vinokur (20:30)

Tania Vinokur — a concert tour marking 20 years of her career, with additional dates added following the show's success! The virtuoso violinist, singer, dancer and composer Tania Vinokur sets out on a celebratory tour across the country — a one-time evening that crosses borders and genres. The show is a live musical journey combining key milestones from her career alongside contemporary work in new arrangements, with the sweeping stage presence that has become her trademark. Tania Vinokur is considered one of the most prominent and distinctive creative artists on the Israeli music scene. At the heart of her work is the violin — one of the instruments most closely identified with Jewish culture — which is given new life in a breathtaking show connecting Jewish, Gypsy, Balkan, Spanish and Mediterranean music. Vinokur weaves together, with rare virtuosity, playing, singing in many languages and dance, creating a powerful, physical and emotional stage experience unlike any other. At the show on November 25 at Krieger Hall in Haifa, Vinokur will host pianist and composer Leonid Ptashka, a colleague she has collaborated with throughout her career. At the show on November 26 at the Haifa Auditorium (Heichal HaTarbut), Tania will host her former band, Meyumana — a kind of full-circle moment, since she was a member of the group before beginning her independent path. All shows are band performances. Over the years she has performed in Israel and around the world alongside leading artists, including David Broza, the Gipsy Kings, Glykeria and others, has collaborated with international artists, has performed worldwide with her band, has recorded eight albums, and has staged seven original shows. From the very first note she lifts the energy sky-high and takes the audience on a world-spanning musical journey — sweeping, moving and unforgettable.
