Naschuwa - "A Nacht in Gan Ejdn"

Naschuwa feels at home across the diverse regions of Jewish music. The current programme is titled "A Nacht in Gan Ejdn": the longing for the Garden of Eden - a symbol of paradise, peace, and reconciliation - stands at its heart. In the context of the Middle East conflict, this is a conscious contribution to Jewish musical culture.

The programme features virtuosic and balladic klezmer pieces, Yiddish songs from the world of Eastern and Central European shtetls and ghettos, as well as musical excursions to the Orient and modern Israel. Jazz and Balkan music influences blend with original compositions. Jewish humour runs through the evening - a counterpoint to the melancholic thread woven throughout the music.

Naschuwa understands itself as part of a culture of remembrance that resists forgetting and reminds us that life, in all its diversity, continues.
