Culture
Nowadays this relatively small village serves as a community center for smaller neighboring villages as well. The community center includes the music conservatory, which is becoming a cultural home for many different types of music. This month, there was a 3-hour concert in honor of 250 years since Mozart's birth, in which several artists performed, including two pianists from abroad and the Ashdod Chamber Orchestra. The conservatory concerts have also included: Big Band, Spanish guitar, children composers, and full operas.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.”
—Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
