Artistic Director & Conductor

Eyal Wahab

Eyal Wahab is the artistic director and conductor of The Red Sea Orchestra. He shapes the ensemble's original productions, which renew the musical heritage of Yemenite Jewry in a contemporary orchestral language — from the sacred poetry of the Diwan to the songs that shaped modern Israeli music.

Under his direction, twenty musicians bring together strings, oriental instruments, winds and percussion into a single, distinctive voice — on stages across Israel and beyond.
