Israeli
Composer Tsippi Fleischer has become well known for her innovative
and creative mind. Her roots are nurtured in the cultural pluralism of
the narrow strip of land of Israel. In her works she combines the knowledge
of the indigenous cultures of her homeland with the firm foundation of
knowledge of Western culture which she absorbed during her studies. Tsippi
Fleischer is also known as an educator, and some of her students have
become composers and well-known conductors. She has set Arabic poetry to
contemporary music and has achieved a unique synthesis of East and West.
Her sensitive for color and sonority has been compared to that of Maurice
Ravel and George Crumb.
One
of her unmistakable qualities is her ability to be involved simultaneously
in seemingly dissimilar areas. Spending much of her time traveling in connection
with the performance of her works, she is always attracted to the beauty
of folklore music, but she would not miss an opportunity to organize events
of contemporary music in Israel. Tsippi Fleischer holds academic degrees
in Semitic Linguistics and Hebrew and Arabic philology, in addition to
her degrees in Music Theory and Composition. She received her MA in Music
Education from New York University and holds a Ph.D. in Musicology from
Bar Ilan University in Israel.
