Sudden Joy Fills the Heart

The Israeli Vocal Ensemble
with Shem Tov Levi (vocals, piano, flute)
Conductor: Yuval Benozer

Shem Tov Levi—composer, singer, pianist, flutist, and arranger—is one of Israel’s most respected and prolific musicians and songwriters. His music, rooted in classical training, blends melodic and harmonic richness with rhythmic sensitivity, offering fertile ground for collaboration with the Ensemble’s vocalists. The program centers on Levi’s beloved Israeli classics: Lu Bat, Havazzelet HaSharon, Sham Yesh, Tavas HaZahav, Amud HaEsh, Shuvi LeVeitech, Belelot HaStav, and more, interwoven with selections from the classical repertoire.
