"Full Orchestra. No Plan." brings together the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg and hidden shakespeare in a new format somewhere between concert and improvisational theater. From Gershwin to Korngold, spontaneous scenes, musical characters, and absurd twists emerge live on stage. Emanuel directs the evening artistically and musically, shaping a playful experiment in which classical music relinquishes control and becomes theatrical, immediate, and joyfully unpredictable.

Tikkun Olam brings the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg to the SHALOM-MUSIK.KOELN festival, focusing on the Jewish idea of repairing the world. Together with Bar Zemach on shofar and horn, and Jascha Nemtsov on piano, they create a multifaceted evening encompassing works by Mahler, Piazzolla, Lev Kogan, Gerald Cohen, Leonid Desyatnikov, and Bar Zemach himself. Under the direction of Emanuel Meshvinski, the program explores themes of remembrance, new beginnings, and the power of music to connect.

"Life, Crazy Good" brings the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg to the crypt of St. Michael's Church in Hamburg, combining concert, readings, and Jewish humor into an intimate evening exploring life in all its contradictions. With music by Piazzolla, Desyatnikov, Lev Kogan, and others, as well as texts by Sholem Aleichem, Mascha Kaléko, Georg Kreisler, and Joseph Stein, the program oscillates between melancholy, wit, and joie de vivre. Under the direction of Emanuel Meshvinski, this becomes a chamber music exploration of the art of carrying on, despite everything, in a good, clever, and slightly crazy way.

AMI TECHNU Vol. III: KLANG.KRAFT.WERK. returns to Uebel & Gefährlich, blending classical soundscapes with club culture. Between Gustav Mahler, DJ Miyagi, orchestral energy, and electronic pulse, an evening unfolds that seamlessly merges concert and nightlife. A format exploring sound, power, and shared experience, somewhere between chamber orchestra, dance floor, and collective energy.

tonhalleLATE: classic meets electronic combines the grand stage of the Tonhalle Zurich with the energy of a long club night. Following Mendelssohn's "Scottish" under Paavo Järvi, musicians from the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich meet Zurich-based electronic artist Natascha Polké. For this second part, Emanuel Meshvinski wrote the arrangements, shaping classical timbres into an electronically charged live set somewhere between concert, club, and nocturnal revelry.

"Resurrection at the Elbphilharmonie" forms the grand finale of the Büschen Meschugge concert series in the Elbphilharmonie's Grand Hall. Inspired by Gustav Mahler's "Resurrection Symphony," the evening unfolds as a blend of concert, storytelling, and collective experience, placing Jewish musical traditions within a contemporary context. A program about hope, responsibility, solidarity, and the power of new beginnings.
