Great instrumental music from "Heart of Galilee" featuring Lori Lowenhar on flute and clarinet!  

From growing up studying flute and clarinet in a small town in Indiana to living in Israel and becoming one-third of the Klezmer trio, Heart of Galilee––Lori Kate Lowenhar talks about her journey this week on Bagels and Blessings.

Originally from Elkhart, Indiana, Lori grew up playing the flute and clarinet. She graduated with a Music Education degree from Cedarville University and began traveling internationally performing Jewish Gospel Music with the Liberated Wailing Wall. Upon moving to Israel, her musical training allowed her to teach a variety of instruments to students in various schools in the Jezre'el Valley.

Lori Kate has now been living in Israel for more than 15 years. She's part of an amazingly talented trio, playing clarinet in the musical group, Heart of Galilee, which began in 2012.

Using their musical prowess to embrace genres such as klezmer, folk and Mediterranean, Heart of Galilee seeks to use Jewish flavorful music to communicate the Good News to the lost. The remaining two members of the group are Lori Kate's husband, IIan Gorny on the drums and Sasha Fishman on strings.
