Boris Malkovsky - Tehilim

A presentation of TEHILIM, an album by Boris Malkovsky, featuring organ and a female vocal quartet, will be held in Tel Aviv.

December 28, 2024.  Einaf Cultural Center (71 Ibn Gvirol St., Tel Aviv). 8:00 PM, doors open at 7:30 PM.

Tehilim (The Psalms of David) is one of the most significant texts in human history, and while many composers have set the Psalms to music in various languages, few have done so in the original Hebrew. Malkovsky's album changes this, blending contemporary academic music with ancient Jewish liturgy, medieval music, and 20th-century rock influences. The album features organ, performed on a Hammond organ, and four vocalists, creating a unique fusion of sound.

Performers:

Boris Malkovsky – Composer and multi-instrumentalist, performing on the Hammond organ. Malkovsky is known for blending diverse musical styles, from classical to jazz, and has composed music for numerous theater productions.

Her repertoire includes opera roles such as the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute.
