2020-21 marks the inaugural season of Lahav Shani as Music Director of the Israel Philharmonic. At 31 years old, Shani was a pupil and assistant of Zubin Mehta, making his first appearance with the Israel Philharmonic at age 16. For this first American tour together, Shani conducts Stravinsky’s savage masterpiece, The Rite of Spring and fittingly begins with “Tehillim,” a hymn by Israeli composer Paul Ben-Haim.
