Description
(Original Caption) Another step in the birth of a nation was taken yesterday when the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra played for the first time in the Biblical town of Beersheba, which, according to the UN resolution, should be handed over to an Egyptian governor. The concert took place in an empty lot with an excavation as a backdrop. It was attended by hundreds of soldiers and settlers from all over the Negev. Beersheba heard, probably for the first time, modern music, among others Gershwin's Rhapsodie in Blue. Leonard Bernstein, American composer, pianist and conductor, got a tremendous welcome. Here, Mr. Bernstein is being introduced to the audience by Shoshan Zchori, in charge of the army's cultural department in the Negev.
