Esther Ofarim is more than a star - she is an experience.  When she steps on the stage, in front of the television camera or before the microphone, she projects an honest enthusiasm which is met with total admiration.  People of all age groups, pop fans, lovers of classical music and followers of avantgardism, will experience an interpretation of art, which overwhelms everyone.

At 13 years of age, Esther began performing in the theatre. At 17 she went to Haifa, and a year later moved to the National Theatre in Tel Aviv to further advance her career.  It was there that she met her future husband Abi, who was a dancer and choreographer. He immediately saw Esther's great abilities, and decided to give up his own career, in order to form a singing duo with her.  Hollywood director Otto Preminger saw them in Israel, and immediately engaged Esther for a role in his film "Exodus". The  artist stock exchanges in the USA now noticed a new name.

Frank Sinatra also came to Israel and saw Esther.  He immediately gave her a contract for the first of six planned television shows. She was such a great success that she appeared on all six of the shows. Following the success of America, offers came in from all of Europe.  Esther and Abi established themselves in Switzerland, became interested in European folk music, and were becoming much admired by older people as well.

In 1962, Esther Ofarim won the first prize in the international music festival in Zoppot (Poland). In the same year their entry for the "Eurovision Song Contest" triumphed, and they performed at a folk music festival in Freiburg (Switzerland).  Representing Switzerland, they came second in the 1963 "Eurovision Song Contest", held in London.  In 1964 they were awarded The Silver Rose of Montreux by Eurovision, for their tv performances.

During 1965 they gave 43 concerts in 32 German cities, which were all sell-outs, and they won the Edison prize in the same year.  They have also given charity concerts, which they perform every two or three years.  Finally, in 1966 Esther was awarded the "International Recording Grand Prix", in Paris.
