Klezmer Festival at the Philharmonie Berlin: Ginzburg Dynastie
Berlin, Philharmonie Berlin — Kammermusiksaal
About the Event
Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Berlin's breathtaking Philharmonie Berlin for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of klezmer music.
After 150 years of musical travel around the world across four continents, the Ginzburg dynasty returns to its historic home. The Ginzburg family is a sixth generation klezmer band, with sounds of clarinet, saxophone, piano, accordion, voice and percussion. Always following tradition, they have played for centuries in countries that could not be more different and have continued to develop their music. Today they present the art of klezmer, which was originally wedding and party music, in the heart of Europe. In this way, the unique klezmer dynasty bridges the musical gap between centuries of tradition and modernity. Musically, there is something for everyone: Eastern European klezmer, swing, Yiddish cabaret, Eastern pop and the best jazz.

Philharmonie Berlin
The Philharmonie is a concert hall opened in 1963 in West Berlin. It is considered the musical heart of the German capital, as well as the new urban centre after the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall. Its distinctive bright yellow exterior and unusual tent-like shape quickly made it a city landmark. The surprising design and architecture were initially viewed negatively by many, but the Philharmonie is now considered a model for concert halls worldwide. The architect, Hans Scharoun, aimed to design a concert hall in which the focal point - the musicians on the concert platform - is equally visible from every seat, an aim that gave rise to the hall's unusual shape. Since its inauguration, the Berliner Philharmonie has hosted numerous concerts, often featuring acclaimed soloists and conductors.
