Full event details

During their previous tour in fall 2011, Yamma Ensemble hosted inspiring hands-on workshops and demonstrations, sharing their unique musical blend with students who were excited to meet people from another country and learn about the culture of Israel.

Their concerts highlighted the extraordinary musicianship of these performers and drew audiences from across each community. As Kara Sherman, executive director of The Wilson Performing Arts Center in Red Oak, IA, noted:

“The impact on our community was huge! The students, teachers, parents, and community members that had the opportunity to experience one of the workshops or the final concert of the Yamma Ensemble are still talking about this event nearly a month later and want to know when I will be bringing them back again!”

Join us in welcoming these musical ambassadors back to the Midwest. Browse our website to learn more about their music and culture or watch videos of workshops and performances.
