Duo Mantar

Considered an unusual pairing in the classical world, guitarist Adam Levin and mandolinist Jacob Reuven convened in 2017 with a shared passion for performing Israeli, Hebrew, and Jewish music. Drawing as much from traditional folk music as from the repertoire of respected Jewish composers, the virtuoso duo released the Billboard classical chart-topping Music From the Promised Land in 2021, and they tour all over the globe. For this performance, the pair will premiere composer Avner Dorman’s Many Waters, as well as play music by Astor Piazzolla, Yehezkel Braun, and more. Presented as part of the venerated Austin Chamber Music Festival. – Michael Toland
