The rich and powerful tenor voice of Shimon Walles is at home with the great Italian arias and all styles of Jewish music.
Katrina Noela is often compared to Marina Prior, with a repertoire ranging across opera, musical theatre and sultry jazz.
Since arriving in Melbourne from Israel, five years ago, Vered Harel has performed as a soloist and fronts the Latin-flavoured band Veod.
To round out an outstanding concert the amazingly versatile and talented Galit Klas will entertain in Hebrew, Yiddish and French.
The Kadimah In Friendship Concerts have always been especially popular with the Russian speaking community.
