Projects

In addition to her solo performances, Shiri is a dedicated chamber musician and performs in different ensembles. In order to expand the classical guitar original repertory, she is in contact with leading international composers. Commissioning a work is expensive and therefore, it is usually made possible through the support of foundations and private donators. In that way it will be possible to bring the classical guitar to many different audiences and expose it in new ways.
