In first, Andalusian Orchestra Ashdod performs in Morocco

The Israeli Andalusian Orchestra Ashdod celebrated a first this month when it brought its music to Morocco, opening the Andalussyat Festival in Casablanca.

The event, a celebrated annual concert in Morocco that is performed before local dignitaries, government officials and music lovers, was broadcast live on December 12 and extensively covered by the local media.
 

Prior to the performance, however, the Israeli orchestra’s presence in Morocco was a secret, a public relations official for the orchestra said.
 

She said the secrecy was necessary as a security precaution, in order not to endanger the Israeli musicians and members of the orchestra while in Morocco.
