Now in its second decade, the Israeli Chamber Project is a dynamic ensemble comprising strings, winds, harp, and piano.
Based in both Israel and New York, it was created as a means for its members to give something back to the community where they began their musical education and to showcase Israeli culture, through its music and musicians, to concertgoers overseas.
The ICP has appeared at London’s Wigmore Hall, the Kennedy Center, Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, and at New York’s Carnegie Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Morgan Library, and Town Hall.
