Meitar Ensemble

The Meitar Ensemble is a Tel Aviv-based contemporary music group known for breathing life into cutting-edge compositions and genre-pushing sounds. Founded around 2009, this dynamic collective focuses on performing works by living composers, particularly championing Israeli creators like Yinam Leef, Ruben Seroussi, and Ofer Pelz—all featured in their recent releases. With pianist Amit Dolberg as a core member, the ensemble blends instruments like flute, clarinet, piano, violin, cello, and electronics to create textured, experimental soundscapes. They’ve built a reputation for collaborations, premiering over 200 new works globally, and their live performances (like *Ofer Pelz: Trinité (Live)*) capture their knack for balancing precision with raw spontaneity.

Beyond the stage, Meitar actively engages with music education and outreach, often partnering with institutions like the Israel Composers’ League to mentor emerging artists. Their albums, such as *When Music Speaks* and *Jalazone*, reflect their mission to amplify fresh voices in contemporary classical music while bridging acoustic and electronic elements. Whether interpreting Fabián Panisello’s haunting *Libro del frío* or Boaz Ben-Moshe’s storytelling compositions, they thrive on making complex modern works feel visceral and accessible—no stuffy concert hall vibes here.
