ORK - The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is moving to organize a free concert in New York City's Central Park in September to celebrate the State of Israel's 60th Independence Day. The project will cost around $3-4 million and will come from donations. Although donors welcomed the idea, the money has yet to be raised. The concert would also require a complex set of permits from City Hall, as well as increased security. Dalia Meroz, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra's spokeswoman, confirmed there was indeed such a plan and the orchestra is negotiating with groups in the United States about raising the funds.
