“Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you” - Simon and Garfunkel.

In an ongoing effort to scan my photo albums, I’ve digitized and posted pictures from the orchestra tour I did in 1999 with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. I had just moved to Germany and was looking for work when the offer to play came. My friend Michal, whom I’d met at Indiana University, called to invite me along.

The orchestra was one of the best I’ve played with, and it turned out to be a very positive move for my career in Germany, as well. While in Jerusalem, I met an American hornist from Tel Aviv - Mike - who recommended me to someone in Germany - Karen - who booked musicians for the Joseph show in Essen, and that is how I started playing musicals here.
