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:
“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
