The Huberman Programme:
As one of JMC’s flagship initiatives, the Huberman Program was established for outstanding Israeli string players between the ages of 13 and 18. The program consists of a week-long residential course of intensive sessions and masterclasses led by renowned Israeli and international musicians. The program takes place at the beginning of each school year during the Sukkot vacation. Throughout the week, students are provided with daily private lessons, workshops and lectures, plenty of time for dedicated personal training, the opportunity to play in a chamber orchestra and perform many concerts as well as many enrichment activities such as yoga, Qigong and meditation.
The program is named after legendary Jewish-American violinist Bronislaw Huberman. The Polish-born virtuoso predicted the approaching Holocaust and succeeded in convincing the British Mandate to grant entry visas to Jewish musicians and their families, thus effectively saving their lives and establishing the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. According to his vision, Huberman aspired to create the “incarnation of Zionist culture in the Land of the Fathers.” He represents the highest standards of musicality, humanity and contribution to the foundation of the country. The young Israeli musicians, nurtured by JMC’s multiple programs, are the promise and hope for the future of Israeli culture and society.
The Jerusalem Music Centre (JMC):
The JMC was founded in 1973 by legendary violinist Isaac Stern and Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, with the assistance of Yad Hanadiv (a Rothschild foundation) and the Jerusalem Foundation. The JMC’s purpose was to provide a musical centre that would find and nurture the finest musical talents from all over Israel, and today, as a result of more than 40 years of work, many such talents can be heard performing on prominent concert stages across the world.
Today, headed by renowned pianist Murray Perahia, the JMC continues to imbue each successive generation of young Israeli musicians with the very same love, passion, and respect for their art shared by their predecessors, and indeed by great musicians throughout the centuries.
Our Purpose:
To find, nurture and promote outstanding young musicians from throughout Israel, providing them with uniquely tailored programmes that hone their skills both as soloists, and as ensemble and orchestral players.
To support the musical and pedagogical development of instrumental teachers across the country, bringing them into contact with the world’s leading musicians and musical pedagogues.
To provide a musical centre of global stature at the heart of Israel’s capital, enriching the city and its residents through its world-class concert series.
Our Vision:
Music has the ability to touch so uniquely and directly upon the very essence of human experience. To gain true, authentic mastery of its performance is a lifelong journey that, over and above innate ability, requires commitment, dedication, and humility.
The JMC seeks out those extraordinary young Israelis who wish to, and are capable of embarking upon this journey with us. Around such individuals, we create a musical community of peers and great masters that nurtures, supports and challenges them throughout their formative years and beyond; a community that is there again and again to encourage and remind these budding artists that there is always more to be understood, experienced, and communicated through the language of music.
Through this process of musical contact, these youngsters develop from promising talents into true musicians, who make artistic and interpretative choices knowingly and authentically, as part of an ongoing search for meaning and honest communication in music.
