Louis Lewandowski Festival 2011

The Lewandowski Days are an international festival of synagogue music taking place in Berlin from 16 to 18 December 2011. It is dedicated to the German-Jewish composer Louis Lewandowski (*1821, †), who became known above all through the reform of synagogal music.

Thus there will be a new, worldwide unique cultural event in Berlin.
New and old choral works are performed at various locations in Berlin. Ensembles from Australia, Latin America, the United States, Canada, Africa and numerous European countries are invited.

The various ensembles are scheduled to participate in Shabbat services on 16 and 17 December, decentralised concerts in as many districts of the city as possible on the evening of 17 December and a big closing concert on 18 December 2011.
