The Israeli Chamber Project, founded in 2008, brings together some of today's most distinguished young Israeli musicians for chamber music concerts, educational and outreach programs both in Israel and abroad. Structured as a chamber music society, the ensemble was created as a means for its members to give something back to the community where they began their musical education and to bring something of Israel to concert goers overseas.
In the three seasons since its inception, the Israeli Chamber Project has embarked on biannual tours of Israel, where it has garnered rave reviews from the press and established itself as a major artistic force on that country's vibrant cultural scene. These tours have included performances on some of the premiere chamber music series in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as well as in remote towns where there is no opportunity to hear live chamber music. A strong advocate for music education, ICP has partnered with conservatories across Israel in order to offer lessons and masterclasses to students of all cultural and economic backgrounds, many of whom have little or no opportunity to work with internationally recognized musicians. On its most recent tour, ICP was joined by the Guarneri String Quartet's Michael Tree, and its Spring, 2011 tour will feature Grammy-nominated, and Cleveland Orchestra Principal Flutist, Joshua Smith.
An important part of the Israeli Chamber Project's mission is to support emerging Israeli composers by commissioning works specifically for the ensemble. Composers commissioned so far have included Matan Porat, Jonathan Keren, Gilad Cohen, Yohanan Chendler, and Amit Gilutz.
In the United States, the Israeli Chamber Project has appeared at Bargemusic and at Symphony Space in New York City, The Embassy Series in Washington D.C., SOPAC in New Jersey, Cornell University, and has been featured on WQXR radio's Young Artist Showcase. Highlights of the 2010-2011 season include appearances at Symphony Space and at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City, as well as concerts in California, Texas, Canada, and Israel.
