Pèlerinages Kunstfest Weimar 2007

"Souvenir" was the motto of this year's Kunstfest Weimar. Denoting memory, "souvenir" in its various expressions could be found throughout the musical journey awaiting visitors at pèlerinages 2007, which, for the first time, included jazz and Klezmer music. The opening concert commemorated the victims of the Buchenwald concentration camp. The conductor Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra performed a flute concert by the Georgian composer Joseph Bardanashvili who immigrated to Israel in 1972.
