The Mizmorim Chamber Music Festival, which takes place in Basel from January 29 to February 2, 2025, is dedicated to the human theme of exile: 120 million people worldwide are on the run, 1.5% of the world's population are displaced persons. Jews have always been confronted with exile, emigration, diaspora, and galut (the forced life outside the "Promised Land" of Israel). Under the guiding principle of exile, Mizmorim presents around 30 artists and ensembles, two world premieres and several Swiss premieres.
The 88 keys of the piano are an indispensable part of modern music. Sometimes, the body is tapped and the strings are even plucked. Denis Linnik (piano) plays works by Ernst Toch, Leo Ornstein, and Arthur Lourié, all of whom emigrated to the United States more or less voluntarily.
Tickets are CHF 15.
