The Ottawa Symphony's final concert of the season was dedicated to the celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel. It consisted entirely of music by Jewish composers, mostly that of Leonard Bernstein, but beginning with The Hour Has Come by the late Toronto composer, Srul Irving Glick.
