Admission: 6 euros including coffee and cake
Uwe and Lars Dziuballa grew up in Belgrade and in their native Karl-Marx-Stadt. After reunification, Uwe Dziuballa lived in New York for some time before the trained banker and electrical and electronics engineer returned to Chemnitz. Together with his brother and mother, the married restaurateur runs the restaurant "Schalom", the only Jewish restaurant in the entire Free State of Saxony. The changes in the city and the country, the growth of the Jewish community through Russian-Jewish immigration, the newly created opportunities to live Judaism openly and confidently - they saw all of this as a gift and an opportunity. "It was and is important to us," says Uwe Dizuballa, "that Judaism is not just about remembrance work and ritualised commemorative events. Judaism has potential and a future today and here, you just have to shape it." German-Jewish culture and music has been brought closer to a wide audience in a musically entertaining way for years through concerts by "Die Yankele Kapelle", which was founded at the association's headquarters.

"Miracles in difficult times"
Venue: Concert hall Städtische Musikschule Chemnitz, Gerichtsstr. 1, 09112 Chemnitz
Admission: free
Jewish composers in German concentration camps and in constant danger of death nevertheless created haunting works. In doing so, they preserved a sense of dignity, hope and even joy for themselves and those who suffered with them under National Socialist tyranny, combined with a spirit of resistance that still radiates today. Viktor Ullmann - like many others - fell victim to the extermination mania, while the half-Jew Petr Eben survived the torture in the Buchenwald concentration camp and developed into one of the most important contemporary composers of our Czech neighbours.
Viktor Ullmann: Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke, 12 pieces for narrator and piano
Petr Eben: Sonatina semplice for violin and piano: Ulrike Wächtler (violin), Gabriele Ratzmann (piano), Marius Marx (narrator)

Musical-literary dialogue between Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Heinrich Heine as part of the Days of Jewish Culture Chemnitz 2020.
With Moritz Schmidt (pianist), Mike Melzer (RLS Saxony)
An event organised by RLS Sachsen in cooperation with the Chemnitz Municipal Music School
Heinrich Heine and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy - they knew each other and didn't like each other. Both came from Jewish families and were baptised Protestants. Both are regarded as great romantics and stars of the cultural scene at the time.
In Mendelssohn Bartholdy's eyes, Heine was a left-wing crank and fantasist, but he set Heine's poems to music more than other poets of his time, despite the new tone. Heinrich Heine saw Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy as a gifted courtier who betrayed the ideals of his grandfather (Moses Mendelssohn), the Enlightenment.
