A small Gaza demonstration outside Davies Symphony Hall greeted concertgoers to the Israel Philharmonic’s tour performance lasty night. Local estimates suggest about 100 protestors turned out, representing Artists Against Apartheid and other groups.
Inside, the orchestra was welcomed with audience acclaim and standing ovations. They played works by Tchaikovsky, Bernstein, and Zvi Avni. Max Bruch’s Kol Nidrei drew shouts from a lone protestor, who was removed. The audience joined in with Hatikvah as encore.
