Digital Concert Hall

The Israeli Vocal Ensemble
Conductor: Yuval Benozer

At the center of the concert stands the Pulitzer Prize–winning choral work (2008) by American composer David Lang, based on the famous story by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Match Girl. The fragile figure of a poor girl wandering through a freezing Christmas Eve, trying to sell matches to passersby hurrying home to warmth, her loneliness and final visions, moved generations of readers and continue to do so today. Over the years, the story has inspired numerous adaptations for stage, film, and music.

Alongside this work, the ensemble will premiere a new composition by Zohar Sharon — composer, arranger, and founder of the Revolution Orchestra.
