(3) K-3 Illustrated by Avi Ofer. Anticipation builds as young Uri and his grandmother travel through Tel Aviv to the first concert of what would become the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in December 1936. Back matter explains how, in response to the Nazis expelling Jews from orchestras, violinist Bronislaw Huberman brought seventy European Jewish musicians to perform. Loose illustrations, full of energy and movement, capture the bustle of this vibrant city and occasion.
