(Astrith Baltsan)
Friends of Music In Association with KZN
Zionist Council will present Israeli pianist Dr Astrith Baltsan in an exciting
multi–media performance tonight (February 25).
The virtuoso artist weaves the Israeli
anthem into a fascinating personal show, containing music by Mozart, Chopin,
Smetana, Jewish Israeli Folk, pop and rock tunes.
“A wonderful performance” states Zubin
Mehta.
