The Israel Prize is the most prestigious award handed out by the State of Israel and is presented annually for distinguished achievement in scholarship, the arts, or public service. The Gevatron, which received the award in May, was founded in the same year as Israel and is the best-known and most popular traditional folk-singing group in the country. The exclusive Boston concert will include Hebrew music in two very different forms—the exquisite artistry of the Zamir along with the rousing folk music of the Gevatron.
