The award-winning Israeli international trumpeter’s new album stems from reality. It was written in the wake of October 7th and contains a broad emotional musical range that moves on the axis between despair and rage, between hope and optimism. The album’s title, From Ashes to Gold, contains within it the great aspiration – to transform bad into good, the ugly into beautiful, the lowly into the sublime. Influenced by the Japanese ceramic art of Kintsugi, Cohen seeks, through music, to heal the broken pieces and create a new reality.
Especially for the Israel Festival, Cohen and his quartet join the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and perform a spectacular concerto arrangement for 50 musicians.
This unique musical event will take place outdoors, in the Jerusalem Theater Plaza, and will be accompanied by a spectacular video-visual experience.
