תמיכה בנגני התזמורת הקאמרית הישראלית ובמנהלה המוסיקלי אריאל צוקרמן

Dear Friend of the Israel Chamber Orchestra,

We, the musicians of the Israel Chamber Orchestra (ICO), are shocked and saddened by the sudden, incomprehensible decision of our Board and management to terminate the contract of our musical director Ariel Zuckermann. We are reaching out to you as friends of the Israel Chamber Orchestra, outstanding artists, valued colleagues, and esteemed members of our community, and seeking your support to rectify this travesty.

Ariel Zuckermann, a highly esteemed Israeli conductor who also performs on the world stage, has been our dedicated musical director for the past eight years. He has brought immense artistic value to the Israel Chamber Orchestra, cultivating partnerships and bringing world class musicians to perform as guest artists with our orchestra. His commitment to excellence and his unwavering passion for music have significantly enriched our musicianship and performances, and inspired us to reach new orchestral heights. Ariel Zuckermann has the full and unanimous support of the ICO musicians. We are unwilling to accept his dismissal!

We firmly believe that Ariel Zuckermann’s contributions to the Israel Chamber Orchestra are immeasurable, and that his absence will create an irreplaceable void. We stand united in our refusal to accept his termination. We urge the Board and management to resign after taking this irresponsible, damaging decision.

We kindly request your support in signing our letter and expressing your sentiments in your own words, if you are so willing. Your signature and voice will carry significant weight and send a strong message to the ICO’s Board and management that the artistic community and music lovers like yourself stand in solidarity with us. Together, we can ensure the preservation of artistic excellence and continue to inspire audiences with the power of music.

Thank you!

With heartfelt gratitude, Musicians of the Israel Chamber Orchestra
