JERUSALEM, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Israeli venture capital fund Cyberstarts on Wednesday named Hila Zigman as general partner. Before joining Cyberstarts, Zigman worked closely with Cyberstarts portfolio company Noname Security as chief product officer, leading the company's development and product teams, and overseeing its Israeli headquarters. Zigman also served as a captain in the technology unit of the Israeli Defense Forces. Zigman's appointment comes two months after Cyberstarts announced its Scale fund with $480 million in committed capital slated for seed investments in cyber startups. Cyberstarts said it has $663 million of assets under management while its portfolio is valued at $30 billion.

In 2019, Yu, worried that the stories of Jewish refugees in his hometown were being forgotten, came up with the idea for the piece. He approached the New York Philharmonic, which has had a partnership with the Shanghai Symphony since 2014, about commissioning the work together. Yu said he never expected the oratorio to premiere in wartime but hoped that its message would still resonate. Yu has long known Zigman, who has composed more than 60 Hollywood scores, including “The Notebook,” and he and Thibaudet suggested the idea for a tango concerto. “Our project is really about bridging cultures and humanity and love, hope, loss and tragedy,” Zigman said.

[1/5] Musicians perform onstage at the debut performance of Emigre at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall in Shanghai, China November 17, 2023. A collaboration between the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic as well as choirs from the U.S. and China, the work premiered on Nov. 17. Composer Aaron Zigman, known best for his movie scores, said he was approached by Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's maestro Long Yu in 2019 with the idea for a piece telling the story of Shanghai's Jewish refugee history. In the late 1930s, as World War Two was about to break out, Shanghai was one of the few places in the world open to Jewish refugees, as many countries restricted visa access. Chen Jian, curator of the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, was in the audience for Emigre's global premiere at the Jaguar Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall in downtown Shanghai.
