Shtetl Berlin 2026 is back!
Shtetl Berlin 2026 is our biggest and most exciting festival yet — a full program of concerts spanning the entire spectrum of the music, from early Yiddish repertoire and poetry in stunning modern settings to free improvisational klezmer and legendary deep-roots bands. Beyond the stage, dive into workshops in klezmer music and Yiddish song, thought-provoking lectures, and intimate sessions with some of the most inspiring artists working in this music today. Bring the whole family for a dedicated program, dance the night away at our klezmer dance, join us for a leisurely klezmer brunch, and so much more. Whatever brings you to Yiddish culture, there's a place for you here.
Concerts and events
This year's concert program is our most diverse yet — klezmer jams, a Shabes party, a dance, new settings of Yiddish poetry, historic Jewish music, and a creative deep dive with the Moguilevsky Lerner Duo, all anchored by the legendary Muzsikás with their celebrated program Maramaros — The Lost Jewish Music. Full details coming soon.
Workshops and lectures
Across Saturday and Sunday, we're offering workshops in Yiddish song, klezmer music, and dance, alongside a lecture series on Jewish life in Berlin and Germany — plus special spotlight sessions with the festival's guest artists. Something for every level of curiosity and experience.
