“Ch’io mi scordi di te?” – Shall I forget you? A poignant question as we bid farewell to chief conductor Lahav Shani. The liberating answer soon follows, unfolding a vision of a bright future. Tsotne Zedginidze, born in 2009 and, according to Lahav, one of the greatest talents of our time, presents a brand-new work; Mahler shows us heaven through the eyes of a child. And Lahav will return.
