The legendary Paul Simon is one of the best songwriters of all time, whose songs have become classics and milestones in the lives of all of us.
In his solo performance in Central Park in New York, 1991, 700,000 people were present.
It was preceded by a reunion show of his with Garfunkel attended by 600,000 people, which then broke
the record for the amount of audience at any concert ever.
In the duo with Art Garfunkel and in his prolific solo career, Simon left a unique mark with intelligent songs, rich in musicality and charm.
Simon is one of the only six artists ever, who won the Grammy Award for ‘Album of the Year’ more than once, and in total won a dizzying amount of 16 Grammy Awards (Singer of the Year, Song of the Year, etc.), twice entered the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ and won other awards.
The film ‘The Graduate’ (Dustin Hoffman), the album ‘Graceland’ recorded in South Africa, the anthem ‘Sounds of Silence’ – Paul Simon is an integral part of the soundtrack not only of the United States or of Israel, but of the entire world.
The acclaimed creator Oded Gadir has so far released 10 albums, and collaborated with many artists on stage and in the studio. Among them: Ehud Banai, Efrat Gush, Dan Toran, Erez Lev Ari, Eran Tzur, Ronit Shahar, Dodi Levy, Avi Belali and more.
Oded began writing his first songs inspired by the songs of Paul Simon. He says:
“I am 12 years old, sitting in the study in Karkur. On the piano is a large cassette tape that plays the Simon and Garfunkel album over and over again. I am captivated by the magic of the intimacy and tenderness that these two produce, and I think – this is what I want to do when I grow up.”
In this show he closes a circle and performs these timeless works out of a deep connection and great love.
In the special show SOUNDS OF SILENCE – we will build a bridge over stormy waters again, we will be a little crazy after all these years, and of course we will also raise a toast to the life of Mrs. Robinson. including:
