On Saturday night the Tel Aviv municipality kicked off the centennial year celebrations with a concert and fireworks at Rabin Square. Zubin Mehta conducted the Israel Philharmonic, followed by Berry Sacharoff* and assorted pop stars. I arrived late, as usual, so I missed the first half.
There were masses and masses of people – more than I’ve ever seen for any event at the square. I am not so into noise and crowds – actually, I really can’t stand them – so I was glad that Idan Gazit’s brother lives in a building with a rooftop view. I am also glad that Idan brought his camera. He put a set up on Flickr; below are a few of my favourites.
Oh, and here is a link to TLV100, the site that lists all the events planned for the centennial.
*Below is Berry Sacharoff performing “Birthday” with Infected Mushroom. It’s one of my favourites.
