Organ in Jewish liturgy
Organ in Jewish Liturgy Lecture by Mgr. Václav Peter Do you find it unlikely that the organ sounds during synagogue services? Are organs part of synagogues at all? And to entice you a little, perhaps we can reveal that the organ appears in the unorthodox setting of Judaism. For example, during the building of Brno's largest modern synagogue, there was a dispute between the older and younger generations of community members about their placement in the building. In the end, the melody of the organ was carried through the space. Nowadays, the organ can be heard, for example, in the Jerusalem Synagogue in Prague, but only occasionally before certain holidays. There are even concerts for the public. When was the local organ built, who built it and why is it a listed building? Who is behind the creation of music for the organ in the synagogue? What must be done in caring for the organ to keep it working well? The organist of the Jerusalem Synagogue, organist and music therapist in one person, Mr. Mgr. Václav Peter. And in order to complement his lecture with organ demonstrations, he will be accompanied by his wife, whom we had the opportunity to meet in person in May, Mrs. Zuzana Peterová, PhD. Thursday, 21 September at 6 p.m.
