Musician and arranger Shimi Yunev presents a special philharmonic performance of the Baal Shem Tov's Nigun: a work that combines a traditional Hasidic melody with a broad and rich orchestral language, giving the ancient Nigun a contemporary, powerful, and soulful musical interpretation.

The piece features clarinet player Avrimy Balti, who adds depth, color, and unique emotion to the musical texture.

This is the first swallow from a wide-ranging project, which is expected to include a unique song album, which will be conducted by Shimi Yunev himself, in special collaborations with the best artists.
