A concert in tribute to the world's greatest singers with Maimon's songs
RESPECT
After bringing countless hits to our lives, starring on screen in series and programs, and starring in musicals from here to Broadway, Shiri Maimon collaborates with the orchestra in a concert that celebrates the greatest female singers from both sides of the ocean. Join us and the only star who can elegantly combine Aretha Franklin and Umm Kalthum with Fairuz and Billie Holiday, for an evening of captivating female power.
The orchestra is excited to host Kostas Karapotis, one of the great singers of Greek laiko music, whose songs have been adapted into Hebrew and become hits (including Eyal Golan's "Huza Otkh Molly" and Omer Adam's "Princess"). The beloved zabakiko classics and ballads will be joined by two more stars from Greece - Manolis Karantinis, the greatest bouzouki player of our time, and Arti Katima, one of the rising and prominent stars of modern laiko.
In the first ever on-stage encounter between the Emperors of Haphla and the leading orchestra in Israel, we bring back all of these Iron Sheep assets - in Hebrew, Greek, Turkish and Arabic, for the happiest and most bouncy concert in the neighborhood. Are you still sitting?

Almost four decades have passed since two friends – Tom Cohen and Maor Zaguri – grew up and played on the streets of Beersheba. Long before they became respected and renowned artists, they were children who dreamed of conquering the world. The joint journey they embarked on then, and to which you are invited today, blurs the line between reality and fiction, reveals fascinating cultural treasures and brings to the stage the beautiful wonder created by their artistic encounter.
