The 2011 Spring in Tel Aviv Concert of Unity brought the Berlin Philharmonic to Tel Aviv under conductor Zubin Mehta. Mehta has decades of performance with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, from 1961 and he became the "Music Director for Life" in 1981. The balanced program includes a mix of orchestral and concerto repertoire from Beethoven, Weber, Saint-Saëns, and Ravel alongside Israeli composer Paul Ben-Haim. A program that is serious enough to feel substantial but engaging throughout.
