Nomadic Politica

by Nomad

Another summer is upon us. Slowly but surely, I feel like we are all emerging from the pit of our collective despair. I mean it was hard to feel optimistic for the future of the nation and the planet with the past administration. The day-to-day outrage and stupidity for four years. Then came the pandemic and all fear and ignorance that came with it. I have never been called a "Pollyanna" but I do feel things are gradually improving. What do you think?

In any event, I thought I would "seal the deal" with a sanity break. Something light but classy and what could be more classy than classics?

Born in the Israeli city of Be'er Sheva in 1978, mandolinist Avi Avital showed exceptional musical ability at a nearly age. By the time he was eight, he was performing with a local orchestra. He studied at both the Jerusalem Academy of Music and the Cesare Pollini Conservatory of Music in Padua, Italy.

He has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center in New York, the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, and the Berlin Philharmonie.

Here, Avi plays four classical works by the undisputed masters. Enjoy!
