American disco icon Gloria Gaynor, known for her hits from the 1970s and 80s, is scheduled to perform in Israel for a single concert on April 13, 2027, at the Culture Hall in Tel Aviv. Accompanied by a ten-piece band, Gaynor, 83, will present a show featuring her greatest hits spanning five decades of her career. This marks her return to the Culture Hall after more than a decade, following a previous successful performance there.
Gaynor, a prominent figure in disco music history, has performed in over 90 countries. Her career achievements include two Grammy Awards and the World Music Awards Icon Award. Her most famous song, "I Will Survive," released in 1978, has transcended its disco origins to become an international anthem of resilience and empowerment, recognized by the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Beyond "I Will Survive," Gaynor's repertoire includes other classics such as "Never Can Say Goodbye," "I Am What I Am," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and "Reach Out I'll Be There." Her contributions have also been recognized outside of music; she has received an award named after Martin Luther King Jr. and will be honored with the Kennedy Center Honors in 2025, a prestigious American performing arts award.
Despite her age, Gaynor continues to perform globally. The upcoming Tel Aviv concert, produced by Alon Yurik, is expected to blend her well-known disco anthems with other selections from her extensive catalog.
