Experience the synagogue music of Liberal Judaism of the 19th Century, performed by eight renowned choirs from four continents.

The festival is dedicated to the German-Jewish composer and conductor Louis Lewandowski (1821-1894).
Lewandowski - the "Mendelssohn the synagogal music" - renewed the liturgy of the Jewish worship service for cantor, choir and organ, as he joined the Jewish tradition with contemporary European music. Lewandowski served three decades as the cantor of Germany's largest synagogue in Oranienburgerstrasse.

His compositions and arrangements were popular and well known beyond the Jewish communities.
We invite you to listen choirs from all over the world performing this fascinating music of the 19th Century.
