Every Time I Fall in Love

Maestro Gil Shohat hosts legendary creator Izhar Ashdot

When meticulously crafted classical music meets the melody and unique sound of one of the founding fathers of Israeli rock and pop, the result is an unparalleled musical explosion. Maestro Gil Shohat joins singer and songwriter Izhar Ashdot for a new, one-time production that deconstructs and rebuilds the concept of boundless music. This evening, Ashdot’s electric guitar and polished sound blend into Shohat’s rich pianistic and orchestral texture and that of his string ensemble, together bringing new life to the greatest classics of local rock and pop. At the center of the program are Ashdot’s major hits, from the caressing ballad “Shadow of a Summer Day” to the love anthem “Every Time I Fall in Love.” Shohat weaves two immortal masterpieces that are pillars of the classical world into these songs: Bizet’s Carmen—the most popular opera in history—in the form of a piano concerto for piano and orchestra written by Shohat and inspired by the opera, and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2—a powerful romantic work demanding supreme pianistic virtuosity. The connection between Rachmaninoff’s melodic drama and Izhar Ashdot’s one-of-a-kind melodies creates a fascinating dialogue in which guitar and piano become a single voice.
