Opening of Tel Aviv Cultural Center
Shakes All of Israel with Deep Emotion
•

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

TEL AVIV—All of Israel literally shook with emotion
all of last week out of the joy of seeing the completion
of another great cultural attainment.
The dedication of the Frederic Mann Auditorium in
the new Tel Aviv Cultural Center was a signal for jubila-
tion and celebration, for emphasis on the spiritual values
which are so vital to Israel's existence.
The concert itself was a great demonstration of Is-
rael's determined will not only to be strong on the battle-
field—in the young State's defense against invaders and
hostile neighbors — but also
to continue the ancient He- playing the Beethoven Con-
braic cultural traditions that certo No. 5 with the orchestra.

admonition; "not by might, nor

A sensational portion of the
program was the appearance of
Paul Tortelier as cello soloist.
Gregor Piatigorsky was to have
played; but he was prevented
from coming to Israel by an
emergency operation. Tortelier
was invited at his suggestion
and he made the trip on 24
hours' notice. He enchanted his
audience with his cello accom-
paniment to Bloch's Schelomo.
Piatigorsky could not have
chosen a better substitute.

the 2,560 chairs for this audi-
torium. Yaakov Rechter, of Tel
Aviv, architect of the Tel Aviv
Center, went to Grand Rapids
earlier this year to design the
riser-type chairs. These self-ris-
ing seats, specially made full-
upholstered, are of black cairo
twisted loop. The arm rest is
made of natural finished wood.
The iron standards are of cast
iron and are orange colored.
Interestingly enough, the
American Seating Co. also sup-
plied the seats for the 20th Cen-
tury Fox Theater that is open-
ing this Tuesday in Tel Aviv.
The Grand Rapids firm provided
1708 full upholstered padded
backs for self-rising seats and
210 full upholstered seats with
spring backs. Because of the duty
involved, the paddings for the
theater chairs were done in Is-
rael.
