Israel Philharmonic Tickets

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) is a cornerstone of Israeli musical life, renowned for its resilient history and international artistry. Founded in 1936 by violinist Bronisław Huberman as the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, the ensemble became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1948. Based in Tel Aviv with major activity in Jerusalem and Haifa, the IPO has grown into a global ambassador for Israeli culture, presenting a broad repertoire from Baroque to contemporary works. This page provides a detailed biography, highlights from the discography, and up-to-date information on upcoming tours and major engagements.

With a lineage that includes long-time music director Zubin Mehta (1977–2019) and the current leadership of Lahav Shani (2020–present; also Chief Conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic), the IPO has combined historical significance with modern artistic vitality. The orchestra was awarded the Israel Prize in music in 1958, marking the IPO as the first organization to receive this national honor. The ensemble is deeply tied to the Charles Bronfman Auditorium (Lowy/Heichal HaTarbut) in Tel Aviv, while sustaining active performance schedules in Jerusalem and Haifa, and embracing international tours and appearances.

For enthusiasts and newcomers alike, the IPO offers a blend of intimate chamber programs and grand symphonic concerts, delivered with the precision and warmth that have become their trademark.

Upcoming on the horizon is a 2025 U.S. tour spanning five cities from March 19–26, including Miami, West Palm Beach, Palm Desert, San Francisco, and Costa Mesa.
