The Hebrew Museum of Venice will propose to its visitors and to a broader audience a series of weekly concerts entrusted and played by the duo formed by the flautist Anna Fortis and pianist Cristina Ciravolo.  The new initiative – supported by Codess Culture, which for years has been handling the museum services to the public – aim at spreading the knowledge of the lesser known aspects of the Hebrew musical culture.
The choice, in fact, favours some of the famous liturgics pieces, sonatas by Jewish musicians died in the concentration camps, works of non-Jewish authors who have wanted to dedicate their compositions to the Jewish world. The arrangements by flute and piano, often manage to suggest a fascination that only the most typical Venetian atmosphere knows how to render solemn and refined.
Next to the visit to the museum and synagogues, the visitor can now expand his or her own awareness and learning of a culture so important for the modern civilisation.

Concerts are held every Tuesdays at 5.30 p.m.
