The first time "Brundibar" was performed by the children choir of the Gewandhaus in Leipzig in a new production by Philip Neumann, was in 2005 at the Jewish week. This new production was very impressive and so we got the idea that the children choir of the Gewandhaus could perform it in Israel to the symbol of reconciliation and approximation.

It took 4 years until the project was realized and even expanded with the inclusion of the Moran children choir from Israel. The particular parts will be divided by children of the German choir and of the Israeli choir.

The first part of the project will be realized in March 2009. The Moran children choir comes to Germany. Together with the children choir of Gewandhaus there will be two shows. One will be in Leipzig in the Gewandhaus and the other one will be in the Jewish Museum in Berlin.

The children of the Moran choir will be accommodated by the children of the Gewandhaus choir and there will be different meetings between the children and teenagers. The Principle of the opera: "You need to count on friendship and to go new ways" will be realized in multifarious ways.

The second part of the project will be realized probably just in September because of financial reasons.
