CON SPIRITO - Das Leipziger Kammermusikfestival

In the organizer's words:

TACHELES - Jewish Tunes of the Leipzig Romantics

What do Jewish influences in music sound like? On the occasion of the theme year "Tacheles - Jewish Culture in Saxony", CON SPIRITO traces the Jewish tunes of the Leipzig Romantics from September 12 to 20, 2026.

Friendships between the Schumanns and the Mendelssohns, Joseph Joachim, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Heinrich Heine, Ferdinand Hiller and Ferdinand David will become audible. Richard Wagner also comes into focus with his youthful infatuation for Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Giacomo Meyerbeer, which later turned into the opposite.

International stars of the chamber music scene will also perform at the European Cultural Heritage Sites in the 6th festival season: Antje Weithaas, Angela Chan (winner of the Joseph Joachim Violin Competition 2024), Tobias Feldmann, Jalda Rebling, Sergey Ostrovsky, Pauline Sachse, Peter Bruns and many more.
