Praising the lord

1st Hansa Subscription II Concert

Works by Webern and Mozart

The great Mass in C minor is perhaps Mozart’s grandest sacred work. Sylvain Cambreling, known for dissonant and suggestive programming, pairs this tour de force by the mature Mozart with the little G minor symphony written by the then 16-year-old composer, and Anton Webern’s well-known arrangement from the Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach. The Deut­sche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen worked together with Sylvain Cambreling in 2014 – fittingly at the Vienna Festival – in Mozart’s opera ›Cosi fan tutte‹ in the acclaimed production by Oscar-winning director Michael Haneke. Soprano Anett Fritsch was also part of the ensemble of these performances.

Choir

EuropaChorAkademie

Presenting symphonic choral music at the highest level, discovering musical talent, overcoming boundaries, bringing to life European ideals and bringing together diverse choral traditions, thereby forming a inimitable choral sound here on this continent; turning these dreams into reality was Professor Joshard Daus’ intention when, in 1997, he formed the EuropaChorAkademie at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz.

Since then, the EuropaChorAkademie has established itself as one of Europe’s best choirs, sought after in Europe’s greatest concert halls and internationally celebrated as an outstanding educational institution for European choral singing. Approximately one hundred members come from all over the world and together rehearse a major work from the choral repertoire, returning after their acclaimed concerts to their respective homes in Riga, Krakow, Oviedo, Graz, Tallinn, Vilnius, Innsbruck, Bratislava, Luxembourg, Beijing and Sao Paolo.

Professor Joshard Daus and the Europa Choir Academy boast an eclectic repertoire stretching from classical oratorios via twelve-tone music and the musical avant-garde, right through to new arrangements of German folk songs.

Currently ›Choir in Residence‹ at the Schloss Bueckeburg, the EuropaChorAkademie has been based in Bremen Vegesack since 2013.
