The Israel Philharmonic
The Israel Philharmonic has been around since 1936, making it older than the modern-day nation of Israel. In honor of its 75th anniversary, the Philharmonic is embarking on a major American tour, starting this weekend. On today's show, a performance from their home in Tel Aviv, recorded just three days ago. Music Director Zubin Mehta conducts.
