The artists 2023
Direct and immediate, expressive and with a warm timbre, Tehila is a versatile and soulful musician with a large repertoire for both soprano and mezzo-soprano. She enjoys switching back and forth between opera, chamber music and song repertoire.
Nashirah was founded in 2002 when a group of singers wondered if we could start a choir with auditions and a focus on Jewish music. There was no such choir in the Philadelphia area at the time. We decided that we would have a professional artistic director and a professional accompanist. We decided how we wanted to define Jewish music.
Maureen Nehedar is a vocal artist, composer and paytanit - a singer of Jewish liturgical poetry - as well as a poet and researcher of Jewish musical traditions in general and the Jewish Persian tradition in particular.
The Yamma Ensemble is one of the projects of Israeli singer Talya G. A Solan. With the Yamma Ensemble, she is searching for the roots of traditional Israeli music.
Greetings 2023
The Louis Lewandowski Festival is a tribute to the rich musical culture that characterizes Europe. In our multifaceted city, we find the ideal setting to discover together the musical treasures that unite us.
As great as the joy is again this year, we cannot celebrate the great Jewish musician and Jewish life in our country without thinking of the horrific massacre on October 7.
The motto of this year's 13th Louis Lewandowski Festival is "75 years of Israel". A beautiful and worthy motto. I was really looking forward to the festival when I heard about festival director Nils Busch-Petersen's plans. And I actually wanted to tell you about the diversity of contemporary music culture in Israel, which draws on a wide variety of oriental and European currents.
