The Lewandowski Festival in Berlin

The Lewandowski Festival is an international festival of synagogue music, due to take place in Berlin from 20 to 22 December 2013. The festival is dedicated to the German Jewish composer Louis Lewandowski (1821 - 1894), who became famous because of his reform of synagogue music. During independent european tour to Germany you can visit to Berlin by the european tour packages created our trip planner and participate Lewandowski Festival. This festival, unique in the world, will be a new cultural event in Berlin. Experience the synagogue music of Liberal Judaism of the 19th and 20th Century, performed by seven renowned choirs
from Europe and Israel. After the overwhelming success of the 2011 and 2012 festivals, which in addition to our focus on Louis Lewandowski also dealt with his important contemporaries, the theme of the 2013 Louis Lewandowski Festival is closely connected to the 2013 Berlin Theme Year: 'Diversity Destroyed'. It marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the November 1938 pogroms as well as the eightieth anniversary of the full transfer of power to the hands of the National-Socialists in January 1933. The third Lewandowski Festival is dedicated to the memory of those composers persecuted, forced to emigrate or murdered during the National Socialist regime. These composers are closely connected to the legacy of Lewandowski in two very different ways: some of them continued to model their work on his choral music style; others however sought to consciously depart from it, finding new musical expressions in synagogue music. The participating choirs will perform both kinds of repertoires. Composers whose works will be performed are Arno Nadel (1878-1943 Auschwitz) of Berlin and Samuel Lampel (1884-1942 Auschwitz), the Leipzig Oberkantor, and émigrés such as Hugo Chaim Adler (1894-1955), Paul Ben-Haim (1897-1984), Heinrich Schalit (1886-1976), Chemjo Vinaver (1895-1973), Hermann Zivi (1867-1943) and others. We invite you to listen choirs performing this fascinating music of the 19th and 20th Century.
