13 October 2006 (Jewswire.com) - NEW YORK, NY – Join acclaimed Israeli performer Ivri Lider and special guests for Ivri Lider: Up Close and Personal, an intimate acoustic concert followed by a Q&A and wine reception with the artists at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust on Wednesday, November 1 at 7 p.m.
“The most popular young singer in Israel,” according to Haaretz, performer and gay activist Ivri Lider’s lyrics and unique voice express the thoughts of a new generation. Lider, who was voted 2005 Male Singer of the Year in Israel, composed the original soundtracks for Eytan Fox’s award-winning films Walk on Water and Yossi and Jagger, and the recently released Bubble. Lider has recorded five albums to date. The first two went platinum and the subsequent recordings are gold selling albums.
