Minhag Hamburg oder Identität im Wandel. Musik jüdischer Komponisten aus Hamburg mit dem Ensemble Hevenu Shalom

In the organizer's words:

In this concert with the ensemble Hevenu Shalom, stories of assimilation and exclusion are told through the voices and music of four Hamburg composers: that of the Hamburg Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy; the music of the expelled Jews from Portugal who found a safe haven in Hamburg; that of the short-lived State Opera director Gustav Mahler, who integrated Jewish folk music into a "classical" work for the first time; and that of the cantor Jossele Rosenblatt, who brought the synagogal chants and melodies to the stage.

The ensemble Hevenu Shalom(www.idanlevi.com/hevenushalom) was founded in 2016 as a trio consisting of flute (Idan Levi), violin (Ivan Neykov) and accordion (Nemanja Lukic) and expanded three years later to include a cello (Hyun Kil Oh). These four very different musicians are united by their love of Jewish music, culture and tradition. The quartet has made a name for itself in Jewish musical life and beyond with outstanding concerts and projects. The name of the ensemble - Hevenu Shalom ("Peace be with you") - is the title of one of the most famous klezmer songs.
