Gilad Harel

Israeli clarinet virtuoso Gilad Harel makes his Hong Kong début with a classical programme – with a twist! Equally comfortable with classical music as with jazz, swing, gypsy and klezmer music, Harel is a true ambassador for his instrument, showcasing his “breathtaking virtuosity” and “phenomenal capabilities” (Haaretz).

Gilad Harel has played with orchestras around the world, including the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Geneva Camerata, and the Manhattan Sinfonietta, and performs regularly with cabaret singer Ute Lemper. Harel also collaborated with mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital to create a unique concert of Klezmer and electronic music, which toured Taipei, Paris and Geneva.
