The main thing is the words.

Yoni Rechter, one of the most important and respected musicians in Hebrew music, the man of melodies, and the Revolution Orchestra put the words of the poets who inspired the melodies at the center of the stage. A performance in three acts, each act dedicated to a different central poet in Rechter’s life, each poet and his unique tone, each and the melody that suits him. For the first time, songs composed by Rechter and not yet published by Dalia Rabikovich will be performed, alongside the well-known and beloved songs of Avraham Halfi and Ali Mohar, with the participation of singers and a choir.
