International Days of Jewish Music: A celebration of diversity in Berlin!

Berlin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxony will be the setting for a fascinating musical journey at the end of November! The International Days of Jewish Music, taking place November 25-28, promises an unforgettable experience with a variety of concerts celebrating rich Jewish culture and music. At a time when cultural exchange and understanding are needed more than ever, the organizers are relying on the unifying power of music to take a stand against increasing anti-Semitism.

A celebration of music and participation

The series of events begins on November 25th in Röbel on the Mecklenburg Lake District with a free workshop concert that invites young people on a journey through time through traditional Jewish music from the 17th to the 20th century. The opening concert will take place in Berlin on the same evening, where an ensemble will combine Israeli and Iranian sounds. A true feast for the senses!

The next day, visitors to Stavenhagen can take part in a sing-along concert in the synagogue there, while on Usedom a klezmer trio creates a rousing atmosphere. November 27th brings another highlight in Berlin with a concert that will, among other things, present a big band. The crowning conclusion will be a concert on November 28th in Görlitz in the Kulturforum Neue Synagoge, which will present works by renowned Jewish composers, many of whom were forced into exile.

A strong sign of unity

The International Days of Jewish Music are under the patronage of Josef Schuster, President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. Under the motto “Kamocha – He is like you”, the event becomes a symbol of unity and dialogue. Director Thomas Hummel emphasizes that music is a universal language that can build bridges and connect people across cultural, religious and political boundaries. An urgent call for solidarity and understanding!
