Con spirito – Leipzig´s Chamber Music Festival

How do Jewish influences in music sound like? In the theme year ‘Tacheles – Jewish Culture in Saxony’, CON SPIRITO will be tracing the Jewish tunes of Leipzig's Romantics from 12 to 20 September 2026. Friendships between the Schumanns and the Mendelssohns, Joseph Joachim, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Heinrich Heine, Ferdinand Hiller and Ferdinand David will be audible. Richard Wagner will also come into focus with his youthful enthusiasm for Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Giacomo Meyerbeer, which later turned into the opposite.

International stars of the chamber music scene will also be performing at the sixth festival season: Antje Weithaas, Angela Chan (winner of the Joseph Joachim Violin Competition 2024), Shirley Brill, Tobias Feldmann, Jalda Rebling, Sergey Ostrovsky, Pauline Sachse, Peter Bruns and many more.
