Chor
It was famous for its music, especially the choir conducted by David Eisenstadt - composer, conductor and pedagogue.
His works were recently rediscovered and published on the album Music of David Eisenstadt.
At the concert ‘Revived Heritage’ at the Polish Embassy in Berlin, outstanding musicians such as Jakub Stefek, Wojciech Parchem, Lilianna Krych and the March Match Ensemble will interpret his music. An introductory lecture by Dr Stefek will shed light on the history of synagogue music.
Eisenstadt took over the direction of the synagogue choir in 1921, which also characterised secular concerts and was regarded as the pinnacle of Polish vocal art. This tradition came to an end with the destruction of the synagogue in 1943.
82 years later, it was revived in Berlin.
The programme is presented by:
- Jakub Stefek - Harmonium
- Wojciech Parchem - Tenor
- Lilianna Krych - Dirigentin
- Match Match Ensemble - Vokalensemble
