Louis Lewandowski Festival 2021/22

LOUIS 200. DER UNBEKANNTE LEWANDOWSKI


Gleich drei Jubiläen waren im Jahr 2021 miteinander verwoben: das Festjahr „1700 Jahre jüdisches Leben in Deutschland“, die zum „Instrument des Jahres 2021“ gekrönte Orgel und der 200. Geburtstag von Louis Lewandowski, dem Namensgeber des Louis Lewandowski Festivals, das bereits 2021/2022 im elften Jahr stattfindet.

Unter dem Motto „Der unbekannte Lewandowski“ bringen wir in diesem Jahr seine weniger bekannten Werke zu Gehör, darunter einige Perlen von unvergleichlicher Schönheit.
