Program Highlights:
Beethoven, Andante con Variazioni (arr. Simon/Frank)
A charming - and completely neglected - work by the great Viennese master,
originally written for mandolin and piano.
Golijov, Last Round for String Orchestra
This work by contemporary Argentinean composer Osvaldo Golijov is
simmering and tango-inspired.

Israeli mandolin player Avi Avital has performed with orchestras around
the world, including the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, I Pomeriggi
Musicali di Milano (Italy), the Rostov State Theatre Orchestra (Russia),
