What is Jewish music?
Concert and lecture
- Lucian Plessner, guitar
An evening featuring works and words by Jewish composers from the Middle Ages to the present day.
What is Jewish music?
This question is the focus of a special concert evening that combines musical works with explanatory words. The programme covers a wide range of Sephardic and Ashkenazi musical traditions from the Middle Ages to modern compositions and well-known works of the 20th century.
Jewish culture and Jewish music have had a lasting influence on European and American music history. The internationally renowned concert guitarist Lusian Plessner originally developed this programme for the anniversary year ‘1700 Years of Jewish Life in Germany’ (2021). Since then, it has been successfully touring and invites listeners to hear the musical traces of Jewish identity from Al-Andalus to the present day.
An event organised by the Synagogue Community of Bonn K.d.ö.R. in cooperation with the Beethoven-Haus.
