Sounds of Music in Jerusalem
WE
CREATE
On an unforgettable afternoon in July, with the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City as their backdrop, 50 choir members performed on the monumental staircase in front of the Huldah Gate, once part of Herod’s temple’s main structure, now blocked gates in the southern wall of the Temple Mount.
It was a scene to remember for all that were involved in creating and delivering this special experience, as much as it was for the audience.
The concert was the pinnacle of a wonderful 10-day classic Christian Travel tour organized for the group by Amiel. In addition to the performance in Jerusalem, the group visited and performed for Messianic congregations in Tiberias and Tel Aviv.
WE
DELIVER
We delivered a memorable experience from start to finish – from greetings at the Ben Gurion airport, transportation across the country with the choir’s heavy equipment, comfortable accommodations in the spirit of the group, culinary experiences and more.
In addition, we helped produce all performances in Israel, sourcing professional equipment, and transporting it carefully to the venue, also for rehearsals. The unconventional location on the stairs of Huldah Gate, created additional complexity which required out-of-the-box thinking. We were able to deliver to the highest standard, thanks to years of experience, a reliable network of partners and suppliers, and a strong relationship with city administrators.
