Jewish religious community Salzburg wins top American-Jewish star Shulem Lemmer for a concert in Salzburg
Salzburg (OTS) – At the invitation of the President of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Salzburg, Elie Rosen, the celebrated American-Jewish singer, Shulem Lemmer, will perform on May 4, 2023 at the Villa Vicina in Salzburg. The program for the Austrian debut not only includes a mixture of traditional Jewish, Yiddish and cantoral pieces, but also songs in English, with which the artist became known. Austria is the seventy-second country in which Lemmer performs. Federal Minister Karoline Edtstadler, the Mayor of Salzburg Harald Preuner and Helga Rabl-Stadler have taken over the honorary protection of the event, admission is free.
Lemmer is one of the most sought-after Jewish singers of our time. The singer conveys an authentic taste of Jewish music and culture with his proud style. But he also performed the national anthem at San Francisco Giants Stadium and Gd Bless America at Fenway Park and Citi Field.
Raised in Boro Park, Brooklyn, Lemmer’s unique voice has garnered attention not only from the Jewish Hasidic community, but also from a broad non-Jewish public. The 34-year-old made history as the first Orthodox Jewish singer to ever sign a deal with a major music label in the United States. His recent deal with Universal Music’s Decca Gold demonstrates his ability to break through to a global audience with the release of his album The Perfect Dream.
“I am very pleased that we were able to win Shulem Lemmer, an international figurehead of Jewish music and culture, for a concert in Salzburg. With his music, he is able to transcend cultural boundaries and touch people of different faiths and backgrounds. I am convinced that he will be able to convey his hopeful message to us as well.” explains the president of the Jewish religious community and organizer of the concert on the event.
