i24 reports that this will be the celebrated ensemble's first concert in an Arab state, 85 years after a tour of Egypt that took place before the founding of the State of Israel.

Following several highly successful decades under the baton of legendary maestro Zubin Mehta, the orchestra named homegrown star Lahav Shani, formerly the principal conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Rotterdam, as its artistic director.
