Keren Peles

Acoustic Performance Centered Around a Piano
Special Guest - Shay Hambar

If you ask Keren Pels, she will tell you that in the aggregate of her life, she has spent the most hours next to a piano. A creator, singer, player, breathing, living the black and white. "To There," "If This Is Life," "You Came to Me Suddenly," "And You," "Flood," "With Me," "Transparent," "Beyond the River," "Who Am I," and "Like Wanaka" are just some of Pels' works over the years, all sharing a common denominator—the birth of the piano.

Now Keren arrives at the festival in her most natural setting, with the songs she has written, those she has performed herself, and those given to others, a variety of her creations and feats, their birth stories, and amusing and personal anecdotes about life alongside them. On stage with her are musicians Adi Rotem (guitar), Matan Maman (trombone and bass), and Yael Shapira (cello), plus a very special and beloved guest—Shay Hambar.
