From classical music to electronic, jazz to hip hop and reggae we have supported musicians from the UK to perform and conduct workshops in Israel.   Here is a selection of recent projects supported by BIARTS .

Classical Music
In classical music, five internationally acclaimed British musicians attended the 22nd Annual Early Music Workshop in Jerusalem, which brings together notable artists from around the world.  The UK participants included harpsichordist and conductor Matthew Halls, violinist Maggie Faultless, baritone Peter Harvey, horn player Andrew Clark, and Edmund Pickering, a specialist on tuning historical keyboard instruments.

Contemporary Music
Tel Aviv’s international festival of contemporary and interdisciplinary music CONTEMPO, included live performances and workshops about their work by British artists Daniel Padden and Adam Bohman in February 2009.

Legendary free improvisation guitarist and painter Keith Rowe made his debut performance in Israel at the MUSRARAMIX Festival  in May 2008.  

Performances and workshops by leading UK DJs
Between 2007 and 2009 a series of cutting edge British DJs performed in some of Israel’s leading clubs and conducted professional workshops in music schools.
The programme kicked off in August 2007 with Dubstep DJ MALA, who performed at Hasharon 12 club in Tel Aviv, and continued with a line of parties at the Comfort 13 club which featured The Bug, acclaimed British Hip Hop artist Roots Manuva and DJ MK.  General Levy, one of the UK's most outstanding Reggae MCs featured at a New Year’s Eve Reggae party and legendary UK groups Vibronics and Dreadzone known for their skilful combination of reggae and black music have also performed. All artists ran workshops about their work at  Hed Music College and at the Muzic School in Tel Aviv.
