Israel Philharmonic Orchestra


 

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) is the leading symphony orchestra in Israel, and one of the top orchestras in the world. Originally the "Palestine Orchestra", it was founded by violinist Bronislaw Huberman in 1936, at a time when many Jewish musicians were being fired from European orchestras. Its inaugural concert took place in Tel-Aviv on December 26, 1936, and was conducted by Arturo Toscanini.
