Shvayg Mayn Harts

Sasha Lurje and Roman Grinberg - vocals
Shvayg Mayn Harts Orchestra
Michael Alexander Willens - Conductor

For the first time, Villa Seligmann is organizing a garden concert as part of the Cultural Summer of the Hanover Cultural Region Foundation and the Hanover Region.

The "Shvayg Mayn Harts Orchestra" will perform songs and arrangements of Yiddish music in Broadway style. The artistic director and founder of the 13-piece big band, Michael Alexander Willens, whose two grandfathers (Alexander Olshanetsky and Herman Yablokoff) were among the most important composers in the heyday of Yiddish theater in New York in the first half of the 20th century, promises much more than klezmer.

The voices of Roman Grinberg and Sasha Lurje - two of the leading international interpreters of Yiddish music - rise from a masterfully arranged carpet of string instruments.

"Shvayg Mayn Harts" (Silence my heart) was founded in 2021 by Michael Alexander Willens as part of the project "1,700 Years of Jewish Life in Germany" in Cologne.

The concert is sponsored by the Hanover Cultural Region Foundation and takes place in cooperation with the Kölner Akademie e. V.
