They say, “what you give is what you get”- and though not always immediate, the exchange is real. Sometimes, in rare and magical moments, giving and receiving happen together, creating waves of joy and inspiration.
We welcome you to one of those moments: enjoy incredible music, surrounded by nature and community.

21:00 Harel Shachal & Kaveh Sarvarian
Sometimes, our deepest traumatic experiences occurred at home, be it our childhood home, or our hometown or home land. This creates an unbearable disruption. Making one feel forever Homesick & Sick of home at the same time.
On this very special opening night, we’ve invited 2 duets to perform deep and honest musical conversations.
The duets are constructed of exceptional musicians, each from a different origin and culture background.
19:30 Meg Stuart & Doug Weiss with Mariana Carvalho
21:00 Guy Braunstein & Lillevan
Healing often requires going all the way around, as no single solution suffices. Psychological, physical, spiritual, and social approaches must often combine, with no shortcuts, to uncover the unique tools for one’s specific pain or trauma.
On this special evening, we present multidisciplinary duets to show how diverse artistic languages can exchange deep understanding, inspire, and spark inner transformation.
19:30 Sandra Carrasco & Alex Conde
21:00 Dilek Türkan & Thomas Moked Blum
Hummingbirds, symbols of vitality and healing, weave joy and balance through their graceful motion. In Native traditions, they are healers; to the Aztecs, resilient souls. Their wings, like heartbeats, echo renewal and love, guiding us to embrace life’s sweetness and the power of transformation.
This evening will be a celebration of love and joy, generously handed to us by extraordinary “hummingbirds”.
18:00 Haggai Cohen-Milo Gravitation album release with Emma Rawicz – sax and James Shipp – vibraphone
19:30 Vincent Peirani & Emile Parisien
21:00 Yonatan Avishai & Avishai Cohen – CANCELED due to Middle East airspace closure
We regret to inform you that the Avishai Cohen and Yonatan Avishai concert scheduled for this evening has been cancelled. Unfortunately, both artists, who were traveling from Tel Aviv, are unable to make it tonight. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
When one truly connects with another- physically, verbally, musically, mentally, or in any other form- the soul finds the nourishing soil it needs to heal and thrive. Such connections rely on trust, curiosity, compassion, and flexibility- the ability to authentically respond, in real time, with deep listening and care.
Jazz musicians often master these abilities, and the concerts we are proud to present will offer an inspiring and incredibly fun demonstration of true connection in action.
A human, holistic circle around FRAMED FEST.
FRAMED CIRCLE offers and researches the possible meeting points between art/music and healing. We are under the impression that these two worlds are connected, both from the artist’s side and the audiences.
With FRAMED CIRCLE we wish to deepen and strengthen our offering by providing a wide range of workshops and lectures with specialists (s.a Dr Peter Levine and Dr Nir Brosh) in the fields of trauma work, transformation, healing, Mind-body relation, S.E, Movement research, and more.
FRAMED CIRCLE will hold spiritual, educational, and healing space for everyone joining FRAMED FEST.
