Experience the Magic of Music at the Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival

Nestled in the serene, green hills outside Jerusalem, the Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration of choral and vocal excellence. Since its founding in 1957 by pharmacology professor Felix Zolmann and renowned pianist and conductor Zigi Shtaderman, after discovering the extraordinary acoustics of the hilltop “Our Lady of the Ark of the Covenant Church,” this festival has become a beloved tradition. Held twice a year in the picturesque Arab village of Abu Ghosh, the festival brings together world-class choirs and soloists from across the globe in a setting that radiates beauty, harmony, and peace.

From 2000 to 2014, Timeless Recordings captured the magic of these unforgettable performances—22 concerts each year—offering listeners a front-row seat to this musical wonder. These featured titles offer just a taste of an extraordinary event where music transcends boundaries and faiths, uniting in celebration the wonderful gift of music.
