Yiddish Soundscapes in the Parkhäusl: The Mesinke Quartet Lights Up Augsburg
On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the Waldgaststätte Parkhäusl in Siebentischwald will become a vibrant meeting place for Klezmer fans and the curious. The Mesinke Quartet is featured in the Music Summer 2026 program of the house and announces a Best of Klezmer at lunchtime. The ensemble has released six CDs since its founding in 1991 and has performed over 300 concerts internationally. ([parkhaeusl.de](https://www.parkhaeusl.de/))
A Sound Between Melancholy and New Beginnings
Mesinke combines Yiddish tradition with a lively stage performance, where clarinet, vocals, string colors, and rhythmic precision merge into a tightly woven concert experience. The ensemble’s previous programs have been described for their mixture of melancholic Doinas and exhilarating Freilachs, exactly that dramaturgy that makes Klezmer live so immediate.

An Ensemble with History
The band is considered a fixture of the southern German Klezmer scene. In reports and program notes, Mesinke has been associated with performances at international festivals, with its own Klezmer night in Ichenhausen, and with projects surrounding Jewish literature and culture. The collaboration with speaker and actor Christian Jungwirth has also added additional literary depth to the quartet.

The Perfect Place for an Intimate Live Atmosphere
The Parkhäusl is located in Siebentischwald in Augsburg, more specifically at Prof-Steinbacher-Str. 10 a, 86161 Augsburg. The location presents its Music Summer 2026 in an open beer garden character and focuses on a relaxed daytime format starting at 12 PM. The place is also known for its organic-certified kitchen, direct contact information, and its social and regional ties. ([parkhaeusl.de](https://www.parkhaeusl.de/))
Travel, Ambiance, and Concert Moment
For visitors, the location in the greenery is a clear advantage: The Parkhäusl is close to leisure paths around the zoo and botanical garden, making it easy to combine the concert visit with a walk. The atmosphere promises no grand hall pathos, but closeness, acoustics, and audience mood on eye level. Especially in Klezmer, this often leads to the most intense effect: music that breathes, dances, and tells.
