Andenken

About

Across three musical requiems, the Franz-Schubert-Chor explores profound themes of life and death, suffering and persecution, comfort and redemption. Under the program title “andenken” (remembrance), the choir invites the audience to commemorate and reflect while also looking ahead with hope, as the title’s layered meaning suggests. Expressive Romanticism blends with oriental colorings into a compelling musical whole. The concert offers a solemn evening of emotional depth, power, and musical complexity, reflecting historical and personal tragedies through the lens of sacred, consoling choral music.
