Giora Feidman Trio
Das Konzert ist ein bewegendes Plädoyer für Frieden und Menschlichkeit. Klassik trifft Orient, Kontraste verschmelzen zu einer musikalischen Einheit, die Herzen berührt. Was auf den ersten Blick kontrastreich wirkt, entfaltet sich als wahre Essenz der ausgesprochen erfolgreichen Zusammenarbeit zwischen Klarinettist Giora Feidman und Komponist Majid Montazer.

Das Interview
You know, it is medically proven that music has the power to heal illnesses. Music
penetrates deeply into our DNA and can transform a person not only in their thoughts
but in their entire being. With my music, especially in these times, I want to inspire
people to reflect and think. I achieve this through the wonderful works I present in my
program. In my concerts, I strive to create a unity with my audience – a wave of positive
energy. My clarinet helps me in a very special way to achieve this.
I have already heard so many wonderful things about the Kurt-Weill-Festival, and I
am very excited to come to you with my program For a Better World – my absolute
personal highlight. I come with a message, with a mission: that through our art, we can
make the world a little better. I am especially delighted to be with you during the month
of my birthday, when I will turn 90. I hope that after the concert, the audience will see
the world in a slightly more positive light. Personally, I am looking forward to inspiring
encounters and hope for an unforgettable evening.
Working with Majid Montazer has been a stroke of luck for me. We truly got to know
each other about six years ago. It all began with a beautiful prayer song he had written,
which eventually became the entire Friendship album. The enormous success
motivated us to continue with Revolution of Love. Well over 150,000 people have
experienced these programs, and now it has been my heartfelt wish to create the third
production with Majid Montazer – a result that fills my heart with joy.Majid often says
that the sound of my clarinet is a spiritual source for him. You know, over time, what
began as a professional collaboration has grown into a very close friendship, almost like
family. I always tell Majid, ‘We are one soul in two bodies.
The theme of this year’s festival, ‘In Motion,’ perfectly matches my vision: to make
the world a better place, something must be set in motion – hopefully in the right
direction. In my repertoire for the program For a Better World, I have a song titled Hand in
Hand. Let us, hand in hand, with the power of love and music, unite all our energy and
strength to make the world a little better.
