The Negev ensemble will perform with the following line-up: Agnieszka Bielanik-Witomska (vocals), Bartłomiej Balcerzak (violin) and Katarzyna Kupiec (guitar). The group was formed in 2008 out of a fascination with the atmosphere and beauty of Jewish music. It comprises artists who combine exceptional musicality, passion and extensive stage experience. During the concert, the band will present a varied repertoire encompassing traditional Jewish songs, instrumental klezmer melodies and pieces inspired by Jewish culture. It will be a musical journey full of emotion, distinctive sounds and a unique atmosphere. A limited number of seats are available.

The event is part of the ‘Culture in Tahara’ Festival, dedicated to the culture and heritage of the Jewish community of Tarnowskie Góry and their place in the multicultural history of our city. The festival’s name refers to the former Pre-Burial House (Bejt Tahara) at the Jewish Cemetery in Tarnowskie Góry – a unique place which, despite the passage of time and its current state of preservation, remains an important testament to the history of the Jewish community of Tarnowskie Góry and to the need to protect this heritage and keep its memory alive.

This year’s edition of the Festival, organised by the Gliwicka 66 Association, is supported by the Tarnowskie Góry Municipality and Tarnowskie Góry District, with the Local Tourist Organisation of the Town of Gwarki and the Evangelical-Augsburg Parish in Tarnowskie Góry acting as event partners.

As well as the concert by the band Negev, we also invite you to a talk with Prof. Marcin Majewski (25 August) and a walk in the footsteps of Tarnowskie Góry’s Jewish community (26 August). Admission to all events is free.
