Anat Morahg, Founder and Conductor
The Bat-Kol girls' choir of the Israel Conservatory of Music, Tel Aviv, was founded in 1984 by Anat Morahg, and since then she is the manager and the conductor of the choir.

In 2011 in the Czech Republic, and in 2023 in Greece, the Bat- Kol Girls’ Choir won gold medals as well as the Grand Prix, achieving the highest score among the competing choirs.
In addition, Anat Morahg was awarded in both competitions the Special Prize for Excellent Conducting Performance.
Bat-Kol Girls’ Choir frequently performs with the Israeli Opera ("Pique Dame", "La Bohem", "Turandot", “Carmen", "Pagliachi", “Boris Gudonov”, "Tosca"). Bat-Kol performed with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under Maestro Zubin Mehta, and many other orchestras, and in concerts for the general public.
The choir’s repertoire consists of classical music, Israeli music - including works written especially for Bat-Kol, as well as folk songs and popular music. The members of the choir acquire a wide range of musical education: solfeggio, voice training, movement and acting.
