Stations along the way have included: a performance at the ceremony for the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, recordings in Norway, and tours and concerts all over the world - United States,
Australia, Europe, Hong Kong and others.

Eyal has also cooperated with Shlomo Bar on the "Sejera" project for the Inbal Dance Troupe, and has orchestrated for the troupe one of its most popular works - "East Wind."

Eyal has performed with renowned international artists such as Adel Salame - a Palestinian ud player who lives in London, and the famous lyre player Ross Daly.

Eyal put out his first album ("Hijaz") three years ago and "Magda" is currently reissuing it in an updated, elegant cover - as befits this fine album. Eyal is currently concluding the recording for his new album, which is due to be issued April 15.
