WARUM ? - German choral music of contemplation

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog   by Caspar David Friedrich c. 1818

Choristry's first two concerts of 2019 are a celebration of German choral music, ranging from simple folk settings and profound sacred masterworks through to the era of early 20th Century cabaret. 

​Programme highlights include Brahms' Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen, J.S. Bach's glorious motet Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf, Hugo Distler's beautiful setting of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, Arvo Pärt's sublime Sieben Magnificat Antiphonen and songs from Kurt Weill's Die Dreigroschenoper (Threepenny Opera).

We look forward to you joining us for a concert of profound, uplifting and occasionally irreverent choral music.
