Excellence is what we strive for...

The Municipal Music Center in Ra'anana, also known as the Ra’anana Conservatory, has set itself the goal of promoting musical education in the city, with all its attendant values: playing instruments, listening to concerts, developing creativity, excellence, and self-confidence and improving performance capability.

The Center Attaches Considerable importance to the operation of an open “musical house” for the city’s adolescents and young adults, and it encompasses every musical genre.

The Municipal Music Center in Ra’anana is Israel’s largest music center, where 1.000 students from all over the city learn to play various instruments.

The importance of the music center in the municipal cultural life led Mayor Nahum Hofree to initiate the construction of a modern building for the Center, which will meet the city’s needs in the area of music education. The Ra’anana Municipality allocated municipal land for the Center, and it is located in one of the city’s main neighborhoods, with easy access by public and private transportation from anywhere in the city.

A Word From The Mayor

The Municipal Music Center, one of the most acclaimed of its kind in Israel, has produced a series of talented high caliber musicians who represent Israel at international festivals and embody the values of personal excellence that the city of Ra'anana has emblazoned on its standard.

During its year of operation, the Municipal Music Center has established its status as a unique and innovative music school for students of all ages. It is home for musical ensembles and outstanding orchestras, which take part in various events and performances in the city, throughout Israel and abroad, bringing honor to Ra’anana.

Studying music and learning to play an instrument at an early age contributes to the child’s cognitive, intellectual and emotional development, and young childrens' encounter with the music world enables them to enjoy a musical education  from early childhood. The Ra’anana Municipality has invested considerable resources in its education system in order to provide the city’s students with the best possible conditions, tools and curricula as a basis for their success and achievements as the State of Israel’s citizens of tomorrow.

For many of the city’s musically talented children, the Center is an enriching educational setting that helps them maximize and develop their talents in the best way possible.

As a firm music lover who is thrilled by every encounter with the city’s young musicians, I am eager to lend an ear and enjoy the festive concerts marking the inauguration of the Center’s new home.

Sincerely yours,
