The Israel Symphony Orchestra Rishon LeZion (ISO) was established in 1988 by the Rishon LeZion Municipality. It is one of the leading symphony orchestras in Israel, and also serves as the Israeli Opera’s orchestra.
The ISO appears in concert series in Rishon LeZion, Tel Aviv and Rehovot, and in special concerts across the country. It goes on international tours and brings honor and prestige to the State of Israel and to the city of Rishon LeZion.
The orchestra engages in wide-ranging activity in preschools, elementary and high schools, and appears in many contexts throughout the city of Rishon LeZion.
The Rishon LeZion Foundation views promoting culture, art and creativity in the city as being of great importance, since it empowers communities, enables – through the support – accessibility to additional communities in the city that are not exposed to art and musical performances, and thereby enriches their cultural world and leisure time.
Within the context of many years’ support of the ISO, the Foundation has been a partner in raising donations by a number of Israeli foundations that have supported the ISO and its work, and in this way enabled the orchestra to expand the circle of its activity to the city’s community centers, senior citizen clubs, schools and additional venues as well.
We are seeking your support for local creative art, assistance for more than 75 artists considered to be the best of their kind in Israel, in order to make their activity accessible to the city’s entire population, through master classes, an annual concert for senior citizens and Holocaust survivors, and adopting gifted music students who will receive a scholarship and personalized professional support, in order to nurture their ability.
