Louisa Sophia Jefferson / Piano Recital

The young German-Peruvian pianist Louisa Sophia Jefferson has already achieved extraordinary things at a very early age. Wherever she performs, she captivates audiences with her virtuoso brilliance, technical mastery, and musical maturity. At the age of eleven, she was accepted as a junior student at the Hamburg University of Music and Theater, and at sixteen she moved to Paris to continue her studies with Rena Shereshevskaya, one of the most renowned piano teachers of our time.


Her program spans a wide arc through music history—from Viennese Classicism to Modernism. She worked on Igor Stravinsky’s Three Movements from »Pétrouchka«, a work of the highest pianistic and rhythmic complexity, in a master class with Lang Lang, who expressly praised her interpretation.

Mischpoke

Mischpoke is a klezmer band from Hamburg that has long since gained an international audience. Anyone who experiences the electrifying performance of these five strong artistic personalities immediately feels the collective live energy that sets hearts and hips vibrating.

With »Tsukunft«, Mischpoke consistently continues its unmistakable sound of klezmer, jazz, world music, and classical music—and deliberately looks ahead. Traditional material is transformed and developed into an open, cross-genre sound language in which virtuosity, joy of playing, and tonal curiosity playfully intertwine.

Whether in a small club or the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, Mischpoke draws the audience into a maelstrom of driving rhythms, poetic lyrics, delicate timbres, and unbridled improvisation.

Mischpoke’s music is rooted in Jewish culture—a cultural context that is repeatedly interpreted politically in current debates. This makes it all the more important for the band to create a musical space in which diversity, contrasts, and friction are not seen as opposites, but as energy: lively, productive, and connecting.

Mischpoke / Family Concert

A wildly dancing violin and a clarinet that can laugh and cry. A lively, sauntering piano and a bass that sometimes sounds like a train pulling up. With their inimitable mix of klezmer, jazz, tango, world music and classical music, the Hamburg band Mischpoke invites young and old to experience handmade music together, to clap, sing, dance and listen. Whether small or large stages, primary or secondary school, international festivals or the Berlin Philharmonie: Mischpoke meets every audience with sincerity and a twinkle in their eye. Their energetic and highly virtuosic playing creates a collective energy that sets hearts and hips vibrating every time.
