And A Parsi Shall Lead Them

[MJB12741]

I feel so pleased & so proud that the world famous Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra has world famous Zubin Mehta as their conductor. And who better knows about land theft than a Zoroastrian?

I love this part. Who doesn't?

At times of war and crisis in Israel’s history Mehta has often canceled other obligations to perform with the IPO and express his solidarity with his musicians. During the Gulf War he conducted performances during scud missile attacks and during the 1967 Six-Day War, he left a Metropolitan Opera tour to catch the last plane to Israel before the Tel Aviv airport was closed. Highlights of his worldwide performances with the IPO include memorable tours in Russia, Hungary, Poland, China, and India. Mehta considers his foreign tours with the Orchestra opportunities for presenting the essential qualities of Israel and the Jewish people to international audiences.
