Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich — Mendele Lohengrin

On April 22, Mendele Lohengrin brings one of Europe's most distinctive ensembles, the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich, to the Jerusalem Synagogue. This extraordinary evening of the Ethernal Hope (Věčná Naděje) festival will offer a musical-theatrical work inspired by the story of klezmer musician Mendel, whose fascination with Wagner's opera Lohengrin opens up powerful themes of identity, uprooting, and the search for one's place in the world. Performed by the orchestra led by Daniel Grossmann and singer Ethel Merhaut, a thrilling dialogue will unfold between the klezmer tradition, European modernism, and questions that remain as urgent as ever. The backdrop for this exceptional evening will be provided by the Jerusalem Synagogue, a space whose rich decoration and distinctive genius loci will enhance the deeply emotional experience.
