​Remembering Arik Einstein

Ori Dagan

Arik Einstein is one of the most beloved and enduring pop stars in Israel, having remained at the forefront of the Israeli music scene for over 50 years. At his funeral this past November, President Shimon Peres stated that Arik Einstein’s songs would continue to bring life and hope for years to come. Indeed they will. Join us in this heartfelt tribute as singer Ori Dagan celebrates the songs we all know and love and which have been described as “the soundtrack of Israel”. With internationally acclaimed musicians, Kobi Hass (bass, vocals) and Brian Katz (guitar, keyboards, vocals)
