The festival, produced by Confederation House under the artistic direction of Effie Benaya, will take place in various venues throughout the city from 17 to 26 November.

The festival will open with Psalms, which is a special production for the Oud Festival premièring a spiritual-creative approach to the Book of Psalms by selected artists: Daniel Zamir, Shem Tov Levi, Shlomi Shaban and Shlomo Gronich. They will perform their works individually and together, weaving a musical composite focused upon the life of King David, to whom many of the psalms are attributed.
