This past summer, MusicOvation was fortunate to attend and observe the prestigious Keshet Eilon mastercourse in northern Israel. On camera, we captured much of what makes it among the most innovative festivals in the world.

We saw how archery is connected to string players’ technique, heard the inspiring story of the on-site bow maker, and learned why most virtuosic string players in the world trot globe to a small Israeli communal settlement called a “kibbutz”.
