Orchestra. Organ and choral
concerts are held regularly at
the Church of the Dormition
(see p116) on Mount Zion,
while the YMCA and Ticho
House host regular classical
recitals by soloists and
ensembles, and regular folk
evenings. In East Jerusalem,
the Kan Zaman restaurant has
Friday night performances of
classical Arabic music.

Syndrome also has nightly
live blues, jazz and rock,
while nearby Art-L Jazz is
the city's first dedicated jazz
club. When the occasional big
name plays town, the venue
is the Sultan's Pool on
Hebron Road, a now-dry
ancient reservoir, which,
when not in use, resembles
an abandoned quarry, just
outside the city walls.

but housed in a beautifully
renovated old Ottoman
structure, the Khan Theatre
has two performance spaces,
kept busy with a lively
programme of international
productions. The Gerard
Bahar Performance Centre ,
which is just west of central
King George V Street, hosts
regular theatre and dance
events (it's the home of
the respected Vertigo and
Kombina dance companies),
as well as occasional music
concerts. Ha-Ma'abada (The
Lab) is a beautifully designed
modern performance space
that is used for avant-garde
theatre and dance. Over in
East Jerusalem is El-Hakawati
Palestinian National Theatre ,
with performances in Arabic,
often of a political nature.

ROCK, POP & JAZZ THEATRE & DANCE

The city's premier live music
venue is Yellow Submarine ,
which features nightly acts
performing blues, jazz, rock
and folk. It is in an industrial
district south of the centre,
but it's only a short taxi ride
from the Jaffa Road area. At
the heart of West Jerusalem,

The Jerusalem Centre for
the Performing Arts is the
city's largest and most active
cultural centre. In addition
to the main Sherover Theatre,
it has an additional three
concert spaces and is a busy
venue for both local and
foreign productions. Smaller,
