Symphoniker Hamburg: Eröffnung des Martha Argerich Festivals Hamburg 2024 – »Scholem Alejchem!«
In the organizer's words:
The "pianist of the century" Martha Argerich is organizing her festival for the sixth time this year. The program comprises a total of ten concerts over ten days. For the first time, the festival will not take place in the Laeiszhalle, but at nine different locations in the city - with the opening event at Kampnagel: the actor Hans-Jürgen Schatz will read chapters from the new, as yet unpublished translation of Scholem Alejchem's story "Tales of a Thousand and One Nights" - it is about Central Europe in the first months of the First World War and the beginning of the end of Jewish life there. Martha Argerich, Sergio Tiempo, Edgar Moreau, Pablo Barragan, Haggai Cohen-Milo and members of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra will then perform works by Max Bruch, Maurice Ravel, Osvaldo Golijov and jazz, framed by Scholem Alejchem's 14th chapter and Shylock's monologue from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". The event will conclude with a panel discussion entitled "The Jewish people, freedom and the cultural sector" with philosopher Christoph Menke, historian Michael Wolffsohn and cultural scientist Stella Leder, moderated by Daniel Kühnel.
