Rosenthal & Friends: Final chord

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Berlin's breathtaking French Cathedral for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of Jazz and Klezmer music.

Boris Rosenthal's enthusiasm for music is contagious. For 30 years, he taught at the Jewish High School in Berlin and accompanied numerous students to music. It was already clear to him as a child that he would become a musician himself. Growing up in Lviv, his father bought him an accordion at an early age, while his mother insisted that he play the piano. In his youth as a 'rebel and rocker' he wanted to learn to play the guitar, but they didn't exist in Galicia at that time, so he converted the Ukrainian instrument Domra into a guitar. Today he is internationally known as the 'King of Klezmer'. Together with musical friends he has put together a colorful program: Contemplative songs of remembrance and swinging ones, jazz and klezmer, arranged in an extremely original way. And each piece ends with a surprising final chord — what comes next?
