,Saphir music store's manager, Uri Saphir
has an illustrious family history, closely
,related to music. It all started in Vienna
Austria in 1922, when the Saphir family
was the only Jewish family allowed to reside
.in the city
After opening a piano store, the family
became highly renowned in the field, and
the store was known far and wide thanks to
the Saphirs' expertise and great love of
.music and musical instruments
|
News of their professional work and high quality pianos reached as far as Jordan:
King Abdallah contacted the store and ordered a unique grand piano. In contrast to the customary black, the king
requested that the piano be white. After laboriously sanding and repainting the piano, the Saphirs
received another order from the king; this time, it was his second wife who wished for a piano |
|
Great love of music continued to be part of the Saphir family life after they immigrated to Israel.
They organized some of the most popular concerts in Israel, introduced classical music to Tel Aviv,
and promoted concerts of well-known international artists and musicians. Among those invited was
Huberman, the famous musician, who founded the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and greatly contributed
to the revival of musical culture in Israel. Uri Saphir, third generation of the family, makes sure
to maintain musical initiative and innovation. He keeps updated on new musical instruments and
contemporary music, impressively combining the best of old and new music.
