The Israeli Andalusian Orchestra (Hebrew: התזמורת האנדלוסית הישראלית) is a musical ensemble based in Ashdod, Israel.

Originating as a project to honor the heritage of immigrants from the Maghreb, the Israeli Andalusian Orchestra was formed in Ashdod in December 1987, as a joint initiative of the liturgical singer and classical conductor Moti Malka and then-mayor Arieh Azulay,[1] both of Moroccan origin.

[2] The Orchestra is financed by the Ashdod municipality and the Culture Ministry and has toured Israel, the United States,[3] and several European countries.

It features traditional Sephardic Jewish-Arab and Andalusian music and poetry, combining classical Arab-Andalusian and European instruments.

In 2006, the orchestra was awarded the Israel Prize, for its lifetime achievement and special contribution to society and the State.
