Dozens of musicians, and you, play the music of our times

Mekudeshet loves music. For us, it is one of the most beautiful and powerful forms of artistic expression. Music has always been integral to our creative and inspirational goals and has been responsible for miracles, connections and meetings. It is a language that transcends words and space. Over the past decade, we have invited you to join us at the end of creative processes, the culmination of fascinating journeys that developed in rehearsal rooms and behind the scenes. You stood, or sat, facing the stage, and the finished, polished project unfolded before your eyes.


But the events of the last two years caused us to rethink the musical experience, what it is trying to convey, and how it should look and feel. We want to replace the distance that the stage creates between audience and performer with an intimate space where brilliant musicians encounter audiences unmediated. Instead of staging a perfect, complete performance, we want to open the door to works in progress crafted by masters from multiple genres. In addition to practicing and fine-turning, we will leave space for improvisation and innovation that begins with listening and ends with brilliance.
Tzomet Lev’s music events invite you to immerse yourself in sound, to hear a journey, to play this place and time, to be the music.
