Musicians demonstrated in front of Health Minister Edelstein's house demanding to include them in the third relief phase • "There are ushers in the halls and capsules can be created," the demonstrators claimed.
Only last Friday, musicians from orchestras and ensembles from all over the country came to demonstrate and play in front of the home of the Minister of Culture, Hili Trooper, demanding that the world of culture be revived.
Today, about a hundred musicians from all orchestras around the country came to a demonstration in front of his home, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein in Herzliya, demanding that the concert halls be opened in the third phase of the exit from the quarantine.

Among the speeches at the event, the protesters, dressed in black with a variety of musical instruments they brought with them, combined musical performance.
For example, Swan Lake, Mendelssohn, Shalom Aleichem, the Angels of Peace and more were played.
Around the musicians began to gather an audience that came to support and enjoy an impromptu concert, while making sure to maintain social distance and the instructions of the Ministry of Health.
Among the cries heard at the demonstration: "Our people are thirsty for culture. We can quench our thirst. Protect culture."
"There are certain places in the concert halls. There are ushers. Capsules can be created. The tickets are electronic. There are no breaks. Do not tell us that it is impossible," the demonstrators claimed.
At the end of the demonstration, the musicians hoped that the Minister of Health would come to them to speak, as Minister Trooper had done in the previous demonstration, but his people at the venue announced that he would not do so.
The musicians ended the event with a song of hope and announced that they intend to arrive on Wednesday to demonstrate in front of the Knesset.
