As part of the program, approximately 30 chamber ensembles operate throughout the country each year, meeting for weekly rehearsals during the school year and participate in courses during the holidays and summer vacations. The program is conducted by violinist Sergei Bressler, a graduate of the Jerusalem Music Center and a member of the Jerusalem Quartet, which was founded at the Music Center as part of this program.
Students of the program enjoy unique advanced training in the fields of music theory, given the opportunity to perform, record and video in the studio of the Music Center.
The staff of the Jerusalem Music Center’s educational programs accompanies the students in the various activities, assists and addresses the special needs of these important and significant years of nurturing the young musician.
Members of the program perform throughout the year in many concerts both at the Jerusalem Music Center and on the important stages in Israel and at special concerts for the community, in elementary schools, nursing homes and hospitals.
The David Goldman program is designed to cultivate the gifted young musicians in Israel through playing in chamber ensembles that work throughout the year. In 2010, the Goldman family, with the help of the Jerusalem Foundation, decided to make a contribution that ensures the continuity and prosperity of the chamber music field for many years, to commemorate the father of the family, David Goldman.
The ensembles consist of string, wind instrument and piano players aged 11-18. Playing in the ensemble allows the young musicians an encounter with masterpieces and gives them a basis for musical deepening, listening, sensitivity to sound and teamwork. As part of the work, the young musicians meet prominent Israeli and international artists. To develop their performance skills, the students participate in many concerts in special concerts for the community on important stages in Israel, for students in elementary schools, nursing homes and hospitals.
As part of the program, about thirty outstanding chamber ensembles work throughout the country each year. The ensembles hold weekly rehearsals during the school year and participate in courses during the Hanukkah and summer vacations. The program is led by violinist Sergei Bressler, himself a graduate of the Jerusalem Music Center and a member of the Jerusalem Quartet, which was founded at the Music Centre as part of this program.
