At the festival, we don't want to divide the different cultures, but to come together through music. Jerusalem is a city that brings us together as a society,\" says Michal Lewkowicz, founder and artistic director of the Mizmorim chamber music festival in Basel. Almost all concerts, readings and guided tours at the twelfth edition, which was held under the motto \"Jerusalem\", were sold out. Renowned artists and ensembles such as the Gringolts Quartet, clarinettist Reto Bieri and flautist Ariel Zuckermann provided musical excellence. Young talents such as the Arola Quartet from Bern, which was only founded in 2024 and emerged from the masterclass that took place for the first time in November, were also discovered at the festival.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70583\" style=\"width: 2362px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2362\" height=\"1575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-262x175.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Arola_Quartet_WEB-920x613.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2362px) 100vw, 2362px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arola Quartet from Bern.

Lukas Landmann gave an insight into the 5,500-year history of the city, which was conquered 34 times, at the Jewish Museum of Switzerland. Heidy Zimmermann showed the unpublished composition created in 1967 at the Paul Sacher Foundation <em>Jerusalem<\/em> for solo singer, narrator, two choirs and orchestra by Roman Haubenstock-Ramati. The vocal ensemble Voces Suaves dedicated its program \u00abWenn ich Dein vergesse ...\u00bb psalm settings from the Renaissance to the present day, which the Israeli-Palestinian oud player Taiseer Elias juxtaposed with Arabic melodies in his solos. The opening concert \u00abThe Ties that Bind us\u00bb by David Krakauer (clarinet) and Kathleen Tagg (piano) already featured jazz and klezmer echoes with <em>November 22<\/em> a work by the Syrian composer Kinan Azmeh.<\/p>\n<h3>From Bach to Feldman<\/h3>\n<p>The concert \u00abYerushalayim shel zahav\u00bb at the SRF Studio Basel combined western music by Johann Sebastian and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach with seven very different Jerusalem songs sung expressively by Hila Baggio, which showed the breadth of Judaism and its music: from Sephardic to Hasidic, from Yiddish to Yemenite. Marcelo Nisinman has written exciting arrangements for flute (Ariel Zuckermann), violin (Ilya Gringolts), harpsichord (Francesco Corti) and himself on bandoneon, which give each of the songs its own color.<\/p>\n<p><em>Yerushalayim shel zahav<\/em> in slow triple time, which became internationally known through the Israeli singer Ofra Haza, loses pathos in Nisinman's version and gains in complexity. His <em>The silent wall<\/em> The portrait of the city commissioned by the festival is surprisingly worldly and sounds like tango and joie de vivre. And conveys a good impression of the city's vibrancy and multiculturalism, which is the subject of lively discussion afterwards in the foyer over hummus, pita and beer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70585\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70585\" style=\"width: 2362px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2362\" height=\"1078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-1024x467.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-768x351.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-1536x701.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-2048x935.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-375x171.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-760x347.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-1600x730.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2_26_Echo_Mizmorim_Yerushalayim_WEB-920x420.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2362px) 100vw, 2362px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The concert \u00abYerushalayim shel zahav\u00bb at the SRF studio in Basel.
