About this event

The event is presented as a Paradisi gloria concert by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester, with the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks as the named choir and the orchestra as the instrumental ensemble. It is a concert presentation centered on remembrance, historical catastrophe and spiritual response. Ravel's work mourns friends who died in the First World War, Schönberg's melodrama confronts the traumatic depths of the Shoah, and Messiaen's work presents a spiritual counter-world composed during the German occupation of France. The program uses a speaker, men's chorus, women's chorus, orchestra, piano, Ondes Martenot, percussion and strings.
