Klezmer in the Open Air: Jazz-Lunch in the Hotel Garden

In the heart of the UNESCO spa quarter of Bad Kissingen, exquisite Klezmer meets summery lunch atmosphere: The Jazz-Lunch Open-Air with Klezmer brings the vibrant sound art of clarinet and strings to the garden of the Grand Hotel Kaiserhof Victoria on Sunday. In a relaxed midday mood, melody, rhythm, and culinary enjoyment merge into a sensual concert experience.

Sound colors that tell stories

From traditional dances to contemporary Klezmer compositions, a program full of warmth and intensity unfolds. The clearly focused sound of the clarinet stretches from fine pianissimi to jubilant tutti passages; the strings create shimmering textures, pulsating ostinati, and chamber dialogues. The live atmosphere carries every nuance: the breath of the soloists, the delicate reverb of the garden, the immediate audience mood.

Program with depth and drive

The program connects tradition and present: Mendelssohn's string symphonies meet Osvaldo Golijov's K’vakarat, along with colorful contrasts from David Orlowsky's own Klezmer pieces, traditional wedding and dance melodies, as well as a touching homage to John Williams. This creates a dramaturgically sharpened journey between nostalgia and the present, between intricate orchestration and pulsating groove.

Festival expertise, first-class cast

As part of the renowned Kissinger Sommer festival, this open-air event concentrates the strengths of an excellent stage performance: chamber music precision, flexible synchronization between clarinet and string ensemble, and a balanced, natural sound. In case of bad weather, the concert moves to the Max-Littmann Hall – acoustically ideal for finely drawn sound images.

Enjoyment with concept: Lunch included

The ticket price includes lunch (drinks not included). Music and culinary experiences intertwine: light dishes, short transitions, flowing changes – a relaxed matinee setting that sharpens the senses and celebrates the moment.

Conclusion

Expect a warm, energetic concert experience with poetic clarinet lines, cantabile strings, and smart program contrasts. An ideal format to experience Klezmer live, close to the artists, in the middle of the historic spa gardens. Secure your tickets now and enjoy the midday hours musically.
