The Caravan Orchestra & Choir, the Shimon Peres Prize-Winning cooperative project of Yiddish Summer Weimar, Haifa University and the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar, returns in 2022 with a new team of coaches and a new program. What remains the same is the incredible energy and inspiration generated by young musicians from Israel and Europe diving deep into their own and each other’s musical traditions and re-emerging with musical hybrids that have never before existed.

Line-up:
Meral Cihan (D) – artistic co-director
Christian Dawid (D) – artistic co-director
Wassim Odeh (IL) – artistic co-director
Polina Shepherd (RUS/GB) artistic co-director
Members of the Caravan Orchestra and the Caravan Choir

Together with the artistic directors, participants explore both European Jewish and Arab music. While having clear differences in the repertoire and style, Ashkenazic Jewish (Yiddish) and Arab music share some forms, tonal material and, most importantly, a performance philosophy with similar approach to improvisation, ornamentation, modality and many other concepts that we discover again each time!
 
The Caravan Orchestra and Choir 2022 will be led by Polina ShepherdMeral CihanWassim Odeh and Christian Dawid. More about Caravan Orchestra & Choir here: https://caravanorchestra.eu/about/ – updates are appearing as we speak!
 
Freier Eintritt.
