Kedusha explores Jewish musical voices across centuries, from the Baroque world of Salomone di Rossi, the Jewish communities of Amsterdam and Casale Monferrato, and works by Joseph de Isaac Sarfaty, Carlo Grossi and Cristiano Lidarti, to contemporary compositions by Alon Schab and Jaap Nico Hamburger (world premiere).
Bringing together Hebrew texts, synagogue music, Jewish traditions and European art music, the programme traces changing expressions of Jewish identity and spirituality — from the synagogue and the Jewish community to the contemporary concert hall.
Kedusha — holiness, sanctification — is a musical journey between past and present, tradition and renewal.

Hallelujah – The musical heritage of certain Jewish communities in 17th- and 18th-century Europe—particularly in Italy, Holland, England, and other regions—offers a striking exampleof the convergence between ancient Jewish cantorial traditions and contemporary European musical styles.
A number of these works were commissioned by Jewish communities from non-Jewish composers, such as Carlo Grossi and Christoph-Gottlieb Lidarti, who nonethelessset Hebrew texts within their compositions. This unique cultural exchange gave rise to a repertoire of remarkable richness and originality.
This program presents a selection of these works, alongside modern compositions and arrangements inspired by 18th-century sources, creating a dialogue between historical traditions and contemporary perspectives.
