The Katowice Jewish Community is marking its 160th anniversary with a commemorative concert titled ‘Music of Silesian Synagogues’. Scheduled for September 27, 2026, at the Evangelical Church of the Resurrection of the Lord, the event aims to revive a forgotten repertoire of 19th and 20th-century Silesian liturgical music.

The program will feature psalms, hymns, and prayers composed by various cantors, including Solomon Ludwig Ehrlich, Moritz Tintner, Eduard Hamburger, and Moritz Deutsch, alongside an organ piece by Louis Lewandowski. The performance is designed to recreate the historical sound of a cantor, choir, and organ.
