The Israel Philharmonic has announced that after the enthusiastic reception the orchestra recently received at the 2012 Salzburg Festival, it will bring Schoenberg’s Kol Nidre and Israeli composer Noam Sheriff’s Mechaye Hametim (Revival of the Dead) to New York City for its Carnegie Hall gala on October 25. The program will once again pair the IPO with Hampson and The Collegiate Chorale and marks the New York premiere of the Sheriff work.  In a front page New York Times review, critic James Oestreich reported from Salzburg, “Abetted by Mr. Hampson’s tour de force, in which he also served as narrator in the Schoenberg and spoke and sang in the Sheriff, the evening’s performances were everywhere excellent…The concert was greeted warmly, even clamorously.”
