Klezmerdialog in Bonn: When Clarinet and Organ Engage in Conversation
On November 12, 2026, two distinctive musical personalities will meet in the theater hall of the Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn: Klezmer musician and clarinetist Georg Brinkmann and church music director Stefan Horz. Their concert Klezmerdialog combines Jewish sound traditions with classical music, improvisation, jazz, and spontaneous musical communication.
Music as a Living Dialogue
This concert thrives on listening, responding, and evolving ideas. Georg Brinkmann brings his experience from Klezmer, singing, dance, and improvised music. Stefan Horz opens up a second sound space with his wide-ranging background in organ, harpsichord, church music, jazz, and improvisation. The interplay creates music emergent from the moment: attentive, adventurous, and open to the unexpected.
Between Jewish Wedding and Free Improvisation
At the center is the Klezmer repertoire, which brings the musical framework of a Jewish wedding to life in this program. Melodies can blossom, accelerate, pause, or shift in an unexpected harmonic direction. The combination of clarinet sound, keyboard instruments, rhythmic agility, and spontaneous orchestration promises a unique live atmosphere.
Georg Brinkmann: Klezmer, Singing, and Mediation
The Bonn clarinetist Georg Brinkmann has specialized in Klezmer, alongside classical and improvised music. He is also active as a singer, dance leader, workshop leader, and lecturer. As the founder of the initiative klezmerbonn, he serves as the artistic director of the International Bonn Klezmer Days, among other roles. His stage performance combines musical precision with immediate proximity to the audience.
Stefan Horz: Church Music Meets Jazz and Improvisation
Stefan Horz studied church music, organ, and harpsichord in Cologne and Hamburg, and became the organist at the Bonn Kreuzkirche in 1998. His repertoire ranges from early keyboard music to liturgical music, jazz, and his own compositions. Improvisation is a particular focus. In 2022, the Protestant Church in the Rheinland awarded him the title of church music director.
A Concert Experience Full of Surprises
Those who want to experience classical concert forms with spontaneous interaction and Jewish music tradition will find an extraordinary evening at Klezmerdialog. The acoustics of the theater hall, the colorful clarinet, and the versatile keyboard work promise a focused, intimate, and yet dynamic atmosphere among the audience.
Conclusion: Klezmerdialog invites you to not only listen to music but to directly witness its creation. Georg Brinkmann and Stefan Horz transform the concert evening into an open musical exchange between Klezmer, church music, jazz, and improvisation. Anyone seeking the thrill of the unexpected should experience this Bonn concert live.
