Baroque to Folk: A German/Jewish Journey featuring Bach, Beer, & Ben-Haim
This special concert, part of our German Jewish Heritage Series, will feature a classical, folk, and jazz ensemble including members of the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Udi Bar-David. Join us for an evening of music that crosses borders, while exploring the unique and shared history of the German and Jewish musical traditions and interactions over the last 300 years.
In honor of Maestro Wolfgang Sawallisch's 100th birthday, we will share soulful and entertaining music, while welcoming a dialogue as we bridge and create a community together. A Clarinet Quintet of the Philadelphia Orchestra will perform a special tribute to Maestro Sawallisch, on the eve of the Orchestra's tour of Germany and China. An American/Israeli vocalist and composer will be joining Udi and the ensemble with an innovative medley of folk and jazz in celebration of the German/Jewish musical connection.
