So good that I took my viola with me to Israel! It did not take long until I found a chamber music ensemble here. Niv, who plays the violin, and Renan, who is a pianist, have recently moved from Haifa to Rehovot to continue their studies at the Weizmann Institute, and they were looking for 3 more chamber musicians to found a piano quintet.
So far, the three of us have been practising Schumann's beautiful "Märchenerzählungen" (originally for clarinet, viola and piano, but the version with violin sounds also great) in the music room on campus. In order to complete the quintet, now we have found an German violinist, Ilja, who also attended the Hebrew course, and an Israeli cellist. Soon the Dvorak rehearsals will start. Up to now, we have been rehearsing in English. Maybe I know more music vocabulary in Finnish (due to 1 year in YS, the university orchestra of Helsinki) than in English. I hope that sooner or later my Hebrew will reach a level that allows for rehearsals in Hebrew!
