The Romantic movement in art and philosophy emphasized the emotions and desires of the individual, and swept 19th-century Europe to a burst of creativity in all fields of art. Music, in particular, was perceived as the pinnacle of the arts, and choral music flourished and increased in numbers as it rose in quality. In this program, The Israeli Vocal Ensemble presents choral gems by the great composers of 19th-century Europe: Brahms, Schumann, Schubert, Rossini and Elgar. For the first time in Israel, there will also be a performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s moving piece Peace on Earth.
