Ron Shulamit Conservatory

[1] Music education developed in Israel largely due to the pioneering efforts of Selma Shulamit Ruppin [he] (1873–1912), an opera singer trained in Berlin and Arthur Ruppin's first wife, who established the first conservatory in Jaffa in 1910.

In 1923 the Shulamit Conservatory Orchestra accompanied Mordechai's Golinkin's production of La Traviata, the first opera performed in pre-state Israel.

Famous musicians who studied at Ron include Daniel Benyamini and Shlomo Mintz.

[3] The conservatory's mission is to make music and all its benefits, available to everyone, regardless of religious/ethnic background, age, gender, socio-economic status, physical, mental or emotional disabilities.

[4] Free open houses are held on a regular basis in addition to performances in nursing homes, community centers, fundraisers for charitable organizations and explained concerts in schools.
