The project was born in light of the Histadrut’s vision, Arnon Bar-David, to make the culture accessible to the public living in the periphery, and is expected to expand to 18 new performance clubs throughout the country, from north to south. Beer Sheva, Yeruham, Dimona, Eilat, Nahariya and Rishon Lezion Ticket sales will be open to the general public, with a special subsidy for Histadrut members who will be entitled to purchase the tickets at a discounted price.
“I am happy with the choice of me and the promising singer Elri Hamati for this important initiative. The cooperation between us is a bridge for cultures, exciting and special. I invite everyone to get excited about it,” said Boaz Sharabi. “I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Boaz Sharabi, a creator whose songs are a soundtrack that accompanies the lives of us all,” added Hamati and Valerie Hamati.
