The Synagogue of Trieste opens its door to all on Sunday 2 July at 6.30 pm for an evening of traditional and contemporary synagogue and Jewish songs.
Appointment with Jewish music for Sunday 2 July at 18.30 at the Synagogue of Trieste with “I due cantori. The traditional and contemporary synagogue and Jewish songs”, an event open to all featuring two leading international artists: Shmuel Barzilai and David (Dudu) Fisher.
The Temple in via S. Francesco will be the symbolic and highly evocative setting for a concert in which the voices of the two famous singers, exceptionally in Trieste, will be accompanied by the piano (Alexander Dror), the saxophone and flute (Noah Rosenzweig) and will offer some of the most renowned and appreciated pieces of the traditional Jewish musical repertoire, without neglecting to include contemporary and more innovative pieces in the lineup.
The concert, open to the city, with free access subject to availability, is organized by the Jewish Community of Trieste and the Carlo and Vera Wagner Jewish Museum, as well as with the support of Piazza Vittorio Veneto Investments srl. A festive celebration of the rich Jewish musical culture, which goes well alongside the musical calendar of the “Erev/Laila” festival (June 15-22) promoted by the Free Music Association in collaboration with the Carlo and Vera Wagner Jewish Museum, the Jewish Community of Trieste and the Viktor Ullmann Festival.
Between history, present and future – With this appointment, the Jewish Community of Trieste and the Carlo and Vera Wagner Jewish Museum want to celebrate, through historical and current melodies, their liveliness that is linked to the past and looks to the future. Piazza Vittorio Veneto Investments srl, a reality headed by a group of Austrian entrepreneurs, active in the design of new tourist and residential solutions, has decided to support the project because it has grasped its precious potential to develop links between a historic community of the capital and all the others and because it firmly believes in the importance of contributing to the development of the city also through cultural initiatives of international scope, capable of enlivening the territory.
