Zaza's Children Club

Children’s Zone at the Jerusalem Jazz Festival

For the first time, the festival launches a children’s zone where the little ones can also get to experience fascinating good music in different ways.

Between two sets of the children’s show Side to Side, the children’s zone will offer musical workshops, art workshops with museum instructors, and a show by the students of the Oriental Music Division at the Conservatory by the Academy (formerly “Dounia”).

The Jerusalemite ensemble Écoute (which in French means Listen!) was set up in 2011 by Gilad Vaknin and Inbal Djamchid, who wanted to offer parents and children a different type of music: new contemporary and artistic Mizrahi children’s music in Hebrew.

They were later joined by Tal Avraham (trumpet), Eden Djamchid (cello), Yohana Ritmuller (violin), Evyatar Hermesh (double bass), Aviv Ezra (percussion), and Amir Bolzman (keyboard and effects).
With original songs, movement, and intriguing musical instruments, we will go on a fantastical journey to the sounds of the place/local sounds, the sounds of the city and the desert, nostalgic and contemporary music.
Together we will explore, sing, dance and move from side to side.

Side to Side, Friday, Dec. 6:   1 p.m and 3 p.m.
Duration of each show: half an hour
Ages 5-12
Admission to children is conditional on accompanied by an adult who purchased one of the ticket types for the festival.
