While most Israelis wait impatiently through the winter months for the much-anticipated summer festival season, Israel’s southernmost city Eilat is sunny year-round. So tighten up those stomach muscles while belly dancing, or let the enchanting chamber ensembles and classical music warm your heart, these winter festivals in Eilat are the ones to watch.
Every year, audiences from Israel and abroad migrate down south for this international gathering. Join artistic director and world-class violinist and conductor, Leonid Rozenberg, for a four-day frenzy of classical music. In addition to concerts and regular master classes, this year’s festival will offer the Vienna Tel Aviv Vocal Connection – a workshop for opera singers.
