Who we are
The festival is produced by the Raanana Pais Music Center and the Raanana Municipality. Artistic direction is by pianist and composer Amit Friedman.
Alongside the concerts, the festival is also a school: every year young musicians aged 14–25 learn from international artists and finish with a performance on the festival stage.
