As part of the special opening event, Goldstein will join his friends in the band Naarot Reines for whom he plays bass in an evening of electrifying rock. The band released two albums and gathered a loyal fan base, as well as garnering accolades and praise for their music. The band never officially dismantled, even though their last album dates to 2012. After 11 years, Naarot Reines are back with a renewed formation to once again bring down every house they play.
As a special performance for Manofim, the band will be hosting singer/songwriter Hila Ruach, Israeli Indie princess that could have easily been queen, but such is the world of independent rock: less is more.
Hila Ruach takes the stage by storm, exploding in her singular vocal capacities that exhibit her talent for translating texts into song. Bursting with charisma and unparalleled artistic courage, Ruach continues to expand her own artistic range. She writes, composes, and produces, having released four albums to date, acted in a short film and composed Yona Wolach’s poetry without a shred of hesitation. We can’t wait to see what more is in store as she continues her incredible artistic path.
Whether you have attended the exhibitions, tours or conference of the Manofim Festival, we are happy to invite you to a series of musical performances curated and inspired by the events of the week. The series serves not only to musically mirror the exhibitions included in this year’s festival, but significantly links these to unique musical worlds.
Music and the museum – both rely on the same muse, and it is this muse that we hope has guided us in our journeys across the multiplicity of layers that is the city of Jerusalem. In searching for an existing harmony between the various ideas and artists, the quest undertaken created a path moving between the geological-musical strata of Jerusalem’s center, between sounds from different places and different eras, and not least, the individual’s journey that readily moves from the realms of the heard to those of the seen.
The Mixer series will continue to spin sounds and audiences on two cool and crisp Jerusalem evenings in October, and a Friday-noon chill event that will take place on the rooftop of the Artists’ Cube Workshop, creating fresh, new, and unheard musical linkages.
