The Revolution Orchestra is a premier Israeli interdisciplinary music lab and a sanctuary for original orchestral creation. Founded in 2004 by composer Zohar Sharon and conductor Roy Oppenheim, the orchestra functions as a creative original music lab, moving beyond traditional repertoire to develop bold, genre-bending experiences.
The Revolution: Where Disciplines Converge
Our productions redefine the symphonic stage, fostering a dialogue where music plays with theater, dances with contemporary movement, and integrates seamlessly with cinema and digital video art. While every journey is interdisciplinary, the music remains the gravitational center of our work.
