Paul Simon tunes, Leonard Cohen lyrics and ‘Psycho’ score get local reinterpretation

The Revolution Orchestra announces its upcoming season featuring Paul Simon melodies, Leonard Cohen lyrics, and a live performance of Bernard Herrmann's 'Psycho' score, along with returning productions.

The Revolution Orchestra, an alternative ensemble founded 22 years ago by composer Zohar Sharon and conductor Roy Oppenheim, has announced its upcoming season. The season will feature three main productions: 'Still Crazy,' which deconstructs Paul Simon's melodies in edgy orchestral arrangements performed by puppet ensemble Red Band with guest Anat Moshkovski; 'Hineni,' drawing on Leonard Cohen's lyrics from his 2016 song 'You Want It Darker,' performed by singer Aya Korem and guitarist Adam Ben Amitai with the Efroni Choir; and a 'Psycho' experience screening Alfred Hitchcock's thriller with a live performance of Bernard Herrmann's score. Two previous productions, 'The Gospel According to Monty Python' and 'Moods – A Work for Orchestra in Motion,' will return by popular demand. The article is framed as a preview without critical analysis or quotes from the artists.
