About Shimon Knoll

A composer, a conductor, a producer, and an promoteur, you can find all of those in the biography of this man when the thread connecting it all is his mission of faith, bringing the world closer and filling it with the belief in monotheism. By mainly using his artistic skills, his connections, power of will, and determination.

And so he left his country to live decades abroad where he got the reliability, the connections and the right people to support his dreams and mission, whose fruits of labor are presented here for you, setting up orchestras, concerts, shows and projects all around the world, those are documented in dozens of CDs, books, exhibitions, and at any place it was possible for him to leave his mark, as will be shown to you here on this website.

The Bible is the foundation and heart of the inspiration that gives birth to many religious books about the Kabbalah, but also brings together the knowledge of the people and science fiction books and books about the future and studies of the brain, the emotion, the psychology, and the balance between the world of faith and the world of science.

But the peak of his creation is shown by his musical interpretation of the Bible, with which he deals for over 3 decades and its fruits of labor are over a thousand of musical creations, a hundred of them were already recorded and produced on CDs, an output even the biggest composers in history will envy.

The "Bible in Music" project was accompanied by the foundation of the biblical orchestra in Berlin, France, the US and is now being founded in the holy land.

The biblical festival is also a dream that's about to come true and that's additionally to the cinematic media that comes alive gradually (about the basis of his book and script "Ancient Sable" the information is here).

Even musical projects like the holocaust project and the light and sound project (which is the combination of the musical arts with paintings) were produced in Germany and the US and were accompanied by concerts and CDs.

And he doesn't rest. These days he works on setting up the roots for the Israeli biblical orchestra and the Bible Festival here in the holy land hoping these will lead to founding an arts and Torah studies academy in the next few years.
