October 2019 brought the world premiere of Yair Klartag’s Concerto Grosso.

The ricordilab laureate’s new work was presented by the Meitar Ensemble and Thelma Yellin Orchestra conducted by Pierre-André Valade. Performed at the New Music & Israeli Music Festival in Tel Aviv, the Concerto Grosso “explores spaces between musical extremes – the ensemble's intimacy against the massive orchestral force” (Klartag). A further performance of the piece is planned for January 2020 with conductor Guy Feder in Zichron Ja’acob. In May 2020, Klartag’s new music-theatre piece Six Memos from the Last Millennium will be premiered by the ensemble hand werk at the Munich Biennale.
