THE METROPOLITAN DETROIT DISTRICT OF THE ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA presents ANNUAL BALFOUR CELEBRATION Starring Featuring OFRA HAZA GADI ELON Israel's First Lady of Song Noted for interpretations of Israeli songs Ofra Haza has been dubbed a "phenomenal" singer by a London critic. She won first prize among 13 distinguished contestants vying for the honor to represent Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in Munich. She captured the heart of a nation with her song "Israel Lives" and her "Yemenite Songs" LP has been called "remarkable." Born in the poor Hatikuah Quarter ofTel Aviv, Ofra took up theatre and music in a local workshop at the age of 12. Her career was temporarily interrupted when she joined the army after completing high school. When she resumed singing, however, she quickly rose to the top and, by her early twenties, has become one of the idols of her generation. Gadi Elon is a successful singer, actor, dancer, master of ceremonies, comedian, balladeer and folksinger. His versatility stems from his years as a jack-of-all-trades performer with one of Israel's most famous armed forces entertainment troupes. A dynamic performer in any medium, Elon has moved freely from appearance in Shakespeare's "Richard III" to the "Catus Flower" to the nightclubs of London, New York, and Sydney. "A top-flight talent" is what the Philadelphia Inquirer has called him. Featuring JEFFREY BIEGEL Among the best of the young pianists According to the New York Times, Jeffrey Biegel "will soon be mentioned with the best of the current crop of pianists." In 1986 he has received the Juilliard School's prestigious William Petschek Piano Debut Award. In 1985 he won the University of Maryland International Piano Festival and Competition. In 1984 he was a prize winner at the Leeds Competition in England. The son of a New York City policeman, Biegel is working on his doctorate at Juil- liard.
