Her performance will form part of a powerful live concert experience that brings Jewish music and culture to one of Australia's most iconic stages.

Ben Adler, Director of SHIR, says: "The concert is UNBREAKABLE in reference to the UNBREAKABLE spirit of the Jewish people epitomised by Daniella Gilboa who has emerged from captivity and transformed into an extraordinary artist. And also in reference to the bonds that we share with our fellow citizens in this beautiful place I call home ."
