Jerusalem Music Centre

[2] The centre also hosts musical events for the public, including concerts, workshops and seminars.

[clarification needed] The Jerusalem Quartet, Israel’s first professional chamber group, was formed under the auspices of the centre and other institutions in 1997.

[3] The programs for excelling young musicians are programs intended for children, focusing on children aged 14–18,[2] and aim to enhance the musical education that the participants receive from other sources, such as private teachers or the local conservatory.

In the beginning of every school year, participants form ensembles and meet regularly for rehearsals with coaches.

Twice a year, the participants take part in an intensive 3-week summer course, at end of which they form the Young Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and perform in central halls in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
