The Universal Love Orchestra was founded by Yair Dalal in 2018 - a fascinating and visionary teacher and orchestra director. He shares his vast knowledge and repertoire of oriental folk songs, classical Arabic compositions and contemporary works of Middle Eastern music as well as his own compositions, passing it on to the Orchestra in traditional ways. The members of the Orchestra with their various musical and biographic backgrounds are unified in their curiosity, love and passion for the music of the Middle East. The instruments represented in the Orchestra are as manifold as the musicians themselves, ranging from Kamancheh, Oud, Nay and oriental percussion to Cello, Violin, Flute, Clarinet and Double Bass, to name only a few.
