Yehuda Oppenheimer Quintet Performing at Conservatorium of Reut-Modiin - Israelby Harley Jones |
 |
| The Conservatorium of Reut-Modiin (about halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem) invited the Yehuda Oppenheimer Quintet to perform some of his repertoire at their annual end of year concert on the 12th July. Photo above, left to right: Yehuda Oppenheimer, Micha ben Arie, Alon Milo, Micha Klappholz and Ronit Cohen. Yehuda wrote "how special, that half the players were students of his some 49 years ago." The audience was delighted to hear works like Maerchen-Symphonietta by Wuerthner and compositions by Oppenheimer. Composer Yehuda Oppenheimer joined with group to play his own composition Mini Valse and afterwards, several people said "they never expected an accordion ensemble to produce such a beautiful sound". Player Ronit Cohen is the Director of the Conservatorium of Reut-Modiin and it was her idea to form this group some 2 years ago. The group has been performing since then, sometimes with 6-7 players, sometimes less, with weekly rehearsals. They have been regularly performing for many elderly homes and other good will performances. eSheet arrangements, original compositions and CD's available at Yehuda Oppenheimer. |
