An international choir festival is held every year in the Western Galilee – a unique cultural event that combines music and history in the nature and heritage sites in the Galilee. The event is under the initiative of Treasures of the Galilee founded by the business woman, Raya Strauss Ben Dror, together with the Mila Foundation, the Israeli Centre for Choirs and Singing Groups and the Moran Choir within the framework of the On Stage in Israel project of Interkultur – the largest global choir organization.
During the spring the “Treasures of the Galilee” venture invites lovers of culture and singing, families and travellers, to enrich the experience of a visit to the Western Galilee with Israeli, classic songs, gospel and international pop songs, with original arrangements performed by Israeli and international choirs. At each site choirs will perform and will fill the space with their singing. Amongst the sites which will hold concerts are: the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Mi’ilya, the Railway Tunnel at Rosh Hanikra, the Yehiam Fortress National Park, Keshet Eilon at Kibbutz Eilon and the Knights’ Halls in Akko. The combination between the unique sites and the pure singing, the echo from the stone walls, the church and the grottos – offer an intense experience of vocal performances to which choirs from all over Israel and worldwide are invited.
