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.
With the premiere of “From the Mountains of Silence,” Mizmorim Artist in Residence Janiv Oron (electronics), with Filip Hrubý (speaker and harmonium), looks back on the life and work of the Czech author Jiří Mordechai Langer, a contemporary of Franz Kafka who wrote in German, Czech, and Hebrew. The staged concert, commissioned by the Mizmorim Chamber Music Festival, combines speaker, harmonium, and electronics into an unconventional whole.
Tickets are CHF 35.
