Ron-Shulamit Orchestras
CameRon Pupil's Chamber Orchestra
The Cameron Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1995, presents concerts with a Jewish and classical repertoire in Jerusalem and throughout the country. It boasts 20 advanced students and 6 professional musicians, many of whom are recent immigrants from North America and the Former Soviet Union.
“Zmora” – an All-Womens' String Orchestra
The Zmora Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Rina Schaeffer, is composed of 23 professional women musicians, most of whom are recent immigrants from France, the US and the Former Soviet Union. The orchestra performs both Jewish and classical music, as well as a number of specially commissioned pieces, and is currently releasing a CD recording of its unique repertoire.
The Accordi-Ron Orchestra, directed by Devorah Tiroler, boasts 25 advanced accordion students and graduates of Ron-Shulamit. Since 1991 it has delighted audiences with medleys of folk, light classical, and Jewish music – a true breath of fresh air in the age of electronic music. In 2003, Accordi-Ron, in cooperation with the Renaissance of Traditional Jewish Music and the support of the Israel Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports, recorded “Shulamit Rhythms”. This CD, available at the Ron-Shulamit office, features a variety of long-forgotten traditional Jewish tunes, some in modern arrangement by I. Edelson.
