ABOUT ME

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

I look for jazz in classical music, playfulness within seriousness and hope in the dark, connecting concert hall, film and club culture.
 

After studying composition, conducting and viola in Hamburg and Zurich, I work with orchestras, ensembles and artists across Europe and compose for film, television and theatre.
 

With the JCOHH, which I lead, I bring Jewish music to life in new ways and help shape Germany's cultural landscape.

St. Michaelis Krypta, Hamburg

"Leben, Meschugge gut"

September 19, 2026

"Life, Crazy Good" brings the Jewish Chamber Orchestra Hamburg to the crypt of St. Michael's Church in Hamburg, combining concert, readings, and Jewish humor into an intimate evening exploring life in all its contradictions. With music by Piazzolla, Desyatnikov, Lev Kogan, and others, as well as texts by Sholem Aleichem, Mascha Kaléko, Georg Kreisler, and Joseph Stein, the program oscillates between melancholy, wit, and joie de vivre. Under the direction of Emanuel Meshvinski, this becomes a chamber music exploration of the art of carrying on, despite everything, in a good, clever, and slightly crazy way.
