Mizmorim Chamber Music Festival - Michal Lewkowicz; Gadget Guru - Christmas Gift Ideas

Michal Lewkowicz is the founder of the Basel-based Mizmorim Kammermusik (Chamber Music) Festival and she joined us in the studio to talk about the upcoming 10th anniversary edition of the festival in January 2024. This special edition of the festival is titled "Tehillim", Hebrew for a collection of psalms (songs of worship). In addition, the festival will span seven days, 12 concerts and 19 events at 8 different venues throughout the city. Mizmorim features spectacular large-scale concerts and also more intimate musical events, affording attendees the opportunity to listen to and interact with performing artists. If you want to follow real-time updates for the Mizmorim festival, you can do so on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter) and YouTube. Listen to the interview here.
