Whether presenting intimate chamber music performances in private homes or virtual performances that reach millions of viewers worldwide, we look forward to bringing our San Diego community together to celebrate Israel’s creative spirit and showcase the world’s preeminent Jewish and Israeli musical talent. After all, the American Friends exists to forge connections between the United States and Israel and showcase the ability of music to lift our spirits and inspire a brighter future. We look forward to celebrating in-person with you later this year.
