Alon Farber Hagiga & Avishai Cohen
Celebrating 25 years of activity, Alon Farber Hagiga presents a special evening featuring trumpeter Avishai Cohen, one of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary jazz.
Founded in 2001, Hagiga has developed a distinctive musical language that blends modern jazz, lyrical melodies, Middle Eastern influences, rich harmonies, and adventurous improvisation. Over the years, the ensemble has released six albums and performed at festivals and venues in Israel and around the world.
This special concert will feature selections from Hagiga's rich repertoire alongside new compositions written for the expanded ensemble. Bringing together a four-horn front line and rhythm section, the music combines strong melodic writing, colorful arrangements, and the close musical communication that has become a hallmark of the group.
A rare meeting between seven musicians with distinctive artistic voices, celebrating twenty-five years of Hagiga through music that is both adventurous and deeply expressive.
