An evening full of sound history in the Great Synagogue Augsburg
On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 7:00 PM, the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich invites you to a concert at the Great Synagogue Augsburg that makes Jewish musical culture audible with great inner tension and high stylistic precision. Under the title Melodies from Eastern Europe, the program takes you through a sound world between tradition, memory, and the present.
Eastern European colors, finely drawn
At the center are works by Joel Engel, Mieczysław Weinberg, and Franz Schubert in the arrangement of Gustav Mahler. This combination promises not just a simple program mix, but a dramaturgically dense concert journey: folkloric lines, expressive harmonies, and a chamber orchestra sound that combines transparency with emotional power.
Daniel Grossmann shapes the evening with a clear signature
Founded in 2005 as the Orchestra Jakobsplatz Munich and known as the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich since 2018, the ensemble focuses on programs that reflect on German-Jewish cultural history. Founder and conductor Daniel Grossmann shapes the musical approach with experience, sensitivity, and a pronounced feel for repertoire beyond the standard. This is precisely the strength of this evening: historical depth meets vibrant stage presence.
Shachar Lavi brings personal resonance
A special highlight is the performance of the Israeli mezzo-soprano Shachar Lavi. Growing up with Yiddish songs from her family adds additional authenticity and emotional intensity to her interpretation. This creates a concert experience that touches not only musically but also biographically.
Great Synagogue Augsburg as an atmospheric resonance space
The Great Synagogue Augsburg at Halderstraße 6-8, 86150 Augsburg, forms the suitable setting for this cultural event. The unique architecture, the symbolic significance of the place, and the intimate acoustics create a live atmosphere in which orchestral sound and spatial effect enhance each other. The concert promises an impressive mix of concentration, spirituality, and musical presence.
Conclusion: A concert that connects memory and present
Anyone who wants to experience Jewish music tradition in a challenging, vibrant, and emotional interpretation should mark this evening. The Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich brings a program to the stage in Augsburg that deeply touches and simultaneously challenges musically. A concert for listeners who do not only want to listen but want to immerse themselves.
