Jerusalem Season of Culture will soon be showcasing the The Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival, four days of exceptional world class music taking place at some of the most amazing cultural and historical venues throughout the city. The festival, now in its year, brings together diverse artists from around the world who ascend to the world’s holiest city to present and explore their own brand of ‘sacred’ music. Whether you are Christian, Moslem, Jewish or any other religion, the Sacred Music Festival offers a cultural tour of music that is beyond one religion and is truly music to the ears of all. The Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival will take place from September 9-12, 2014.

The festival will take place at the following historical venues:

Tower of David

Situated just inside the Jaffa Gate, The Tower of David Museum, also known as Herod’s fortress, will host several cultural events throughout the citadel.

Zedekiah’s Cave

Zedekiah’s Cave is located just north of the Damascus Gate. This important cave was a quarry and stones from inside were used for the development of the First Jewish Temple 2,400 years ago. Smaller performance tailored to this venue will take place during the series Healing Frequencies, a unique musical experience.

Jerusalem Music Center in Mishkenot Shaananim

This intimate auditorium is situated outside of the Old City gates within the artists colony of Mishkenot Shaananim, considered the first neighborhood to be built outside of the walls of Jerusalem. The venue offers outstanding acoustics.

The schedule of events for the festival is as displayed below.
