The Israel Philharmonic in the Community
The IPO in the periphery
The orchestra seeks to reach new audiences across Israel through diverse activities, including open-air symphony concerts and family-friendly musical events.
One of the IPO’s key goals is to bring performances to audiences who may have difficulty accessing concert halls located in central areas. The Israel Philharmonic aims to make the experience available to disadvantaged and minority groups, as this not only enriches individuals and empowers communities but also serves as a means to connect and unite people through a shared experience.
The requested donation starts at USD 85,000 per year.
Young audience under 35
The Israel Philharmonic offers last-minute tickets priced at NIS 65 for individuals up to the age of 35. Supporting this initiative will enable thousands of young people to attend the orchestra’s concerts each year at an affordable price, making the concert experience a part of their cultural leisure activities.
The requested donation starts at USD 5,000 per year.
