Rosh Ha'Ayin Mandolin Orchestra performs

Thirteen members of the Rosh Ha'Ayin Mandolin Orchestra performed at Loyola August 26. One of the most critically acclaimed orchestras in the world, the group of teenage performers from Israel has appeared at the Israel Prize Ceremony, the president's residence, the Knesset, and on international television and radio. Benjamin Bilsky conducts the orchestra, consisting entirely of plucked instruments. Loyola and the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans presented the event.
