ABOUT ME
I am Emanuel “Emu” Meshvinski, composer, conductor and Artistic Director of the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg.
I look for jazz in classical music, playfulness within seriousness and hope in the dark, connecting concert hall, film and club culture.
After studying composition, conducting and viola in Hamburg and Zurich, I work with orchestras, ensembles and artists across Europe and compose for film, television and theatre.
With the JCOHH, which I lead, I bring Jewish music to life in new ways and help shape Hamburg’s cultural landscape.

AMI TECHNU is JCOHH’s club format where classical meets electronic and the concert turns into a night out, continuing the collaboration with Hamburg’s WEIRD collective. Led artistically and musically by Emanuel Meshvinski, Vol. 2 pushes the crossover further, moving from listening to release without losing the orchestra’s core identity.
