I am Emanuel “Emu” Meshvinski – a composer, conductor and Artistic Director of the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg.

​

For a long time, the world of classical music seemed rigid and far removed from my own life. It was film music that first showed me how immediate, contemporary and emotionally powerful an orchestra could sound.

​

Today, I bring orchestral sound together with jazz, ambient, techno, film and theatre. I compose, conduct and develop new concert formats with orchestras, ensembles and artists across Europe.​

​

My aim is to create music that connects people and enables encounters that might otherwise never happen.
