Vereinte Orchesterweltspitze: Israel Philharmonic Orchestra − Münchner Philharmoniker − Shani

In the organizer's words:

For an evening dedicated to peace, Israeli conductor Lahav Shani unites two world-class orchestras in the Kreuzkirche with the Munich Philharmonic and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert, in which the members of both orchestras share a podium, not only reflects the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and thus the liberation from the Nazi reign of terror, but also marks the beginning of the history of reconciliation between Germany and Israel. In the program, the two chosen composers interweave the lifelines between the two countries in a sonorous way. Prayer" by Tzvi Avni, who was born in Saarbrücken in 1925 and emigrated to Palestine with his parents in 1935, is a haunting musical prayer. The composer studied with Paul Ben-Haim, a pupil of Gustav Mahler's close confidant Bruno Walter. This closes the circle to Mahler's "Tragic Symphony", in which all the emotions of a human life can be experienced in music like in hardly any other work.
