Spasskaya Tower
The Police Band was formed soon after the establishment of Israel as a successor to the Palestine Police Band, founded in 1921. Aubrey Silver, a Jewish musician from London, was bandmaster from 1921 until his death in 1944 and was succeeded by Naphtali Grabow from 1944 to 1961. In 1978, the orchestra released a premiere record. Beginning in 1999, soldiers serve alongside regular police officers in the orchestra. Menashe Lev Ran was conductor from 2008. In 2010, the band took part in the Spasskaya Tower Military Music Festival and Tattoo in Moscow.
