Annan Araf — second generation winemaker and owner of the Julia Winery.
Itay Armon presents a fascinating journey between musical traditions and exotic instruments, in a show that combines sounds from Central and West Asia and the Mediterranean basin, with jazz and classical music aromas. The show is based on the complex and deep melodies of Itay Armon, whose involvement in the ancient music of Merkav and West Asia was solidified and deepened during his wanderings around the world.
Armon’s melodies are integrated into improvisational pieces by the musicians making each performance unique – a one-time musical experience, created on the spot by the trio.
