Psalmen

Date & Time

Fri, Jul 4, 2025, 21:00

Venue

For almost 3000 years, Psalms have been prayed and sung by Jews and later Christians, and are even found in the Quran. These poetic, powerful prayers, dramatic laments, and jubilant hymns, attributed to King David, reflect the shared cultural and religious roots of now-divided parties. This concert contrasts the passionate Christian-Jewish tradition in works by Mendelssohn and Kreek with perspectives from Lebanese composer Zad Moultaka and Yemeni composer Saed Haddad.
