The commissioned Israeli work for the 22nd Harp Contest:
“Northern Wind” by Uri Brener.
The name of the piece is inspired by a quote
from the Babylonian Talmud (Tractate Berachot 3b):
“A harp was hanging above David’s bed. As soon as midnight arrived,
a North wind came and blew upon it and it played of itself.
He arose immediately and studied the Torah till the break of dawn…”

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Director General, Mr. Yossi Frost.
We greatly miss him.
Preparations for the 22nd International Harp Competition in Israel are continuing as planned and we are counting on your understanding and your participation.
