Tradition & Erneuerung - Gala der Synagogalmusik

In the organizer's words:

To mark the 130th anniversary of the death of the legendary composer of German-Jewish synagogue music Louis Lewandowski, international greats of synagogue music are coming to Villa Seligmann. Some of the most famous melodies from the traditional liturgy, music by Lewandowski, Yiddish songs and Israeli classics will be performed in new artistic sound environments on the summer stage in the garden under the title "Tradition & Renewal".

CantorAmnon Seelig, baritone (Mannheim)
Prof. Mark Kligman, conductor (Los Angeles, Philadelphia)

The cantor of the Jewish community of Beverly Hills, Netanel Baram, will be a guest at Villa Seligmann for the first time. Together with the cantor of the Jewish community in Mannheim, Amnon Seelig, Baram will perform a varied and generally accessible program of well-known liturgical titles from the oeuvre of Lewandowski, but also from the so-called Golden Age of the Syanagogalgesag.

The two cantors will be accompanied by the Hanover-based Asambura Ensemble, which has made a name for itself with diverse, multi- and intercultural music projects. Prof. Mark Kligman, who is the program curator and music arranger, will moderate and direct the concert. Prof. Kligman is one of the world's leading academics in the field of Jewish ethnomusicology.

This concert opens the garden season at Villa Seligmann.
