The Israel Philharmonic tours throughout the United States. AFIPO helps facilitate these engagements, bringing the orchestra to American audiences across the country and celebrating Israel’s rich culture and artistic heritage. We invite you to join the IPO at an upcoming concert near you.

The IPO’s Triumphant Return to Carnegie Hall

On October 15-18, 2025, the Israel Philharmonic completed a breathtaking four-concert residency at Carnegie Hall. Under the inspired direction of Music Director Lahav Shani, with special guests Pinchas Zukerman and Amanda Forsyth, the orchestra captivated audiences with its dynamic interpretations, masterful technique, and unmistakable warmth. From the grandeur of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies to the intimacy of a chamber ensemble, the Israel Philharmonic showcased its artistic depth alongside the celebration of its enduring mission to unite audiences through the power of music.

AFIPO was honored to support this historic engagement, and to connect in-person with our community through special receptions before and after the performances. Thank you for your support!
