Dear festival enthusiasts and visitors, this year’s Louis Lewandowski Festival brings together three celebrations: 1,700 years of Jewish life in Germany, the crowning of the organ as “Instrument of the Year” and, finally, the 200th birthday of the namesake of this wonderful festival, the outstanding composer Louis Lewandowski.
Finally, the 200th birthday of the man who gave his name to this wonderful festival, the outstanding composer Louis Lewandowski.
