Lollar/Rabenau (red). The regional choir “Collegium vocale Kirchberg” celebrates 30 years of choral singing with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s Requiem.
Founded in 1994 by the church musician Jens Amend (Treis), the choir, which currently has 50 singers from all over the region, has been under the direction of cantor dean Daniela Werner since 2004. Several major projects have already been undertaken together, including classical and modern oratorios and masses by Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Handel, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven as well as Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Antonín Dvorák, César Franck, John Rutter, Martín Palmeri, Judith Brandenburg, Glenn McClure and Hartmut Naumann.
There were many concerts by soloists and orchestral musicians in the theology and far beyond its borders. The program will also include themed concerts with a cappella music and piano works.
Concert tours took the choir to Italy and the south of England. In 2017, he actively participated in the Misatango Festival in Vienna with a performance of Misatango by Martín Palmeri in the large Vienna Konzerthaus as well as a world premiere of the new Tango Credo by Martín Palmeri in David Geffen Hall in Lincoln Center New York . Both were wonderful events that will remain in the hearts of the singers for a long time.
There was another premiere in 2022: the climactic oratorio “House on fire,” which bandleader Judith Brandenburg composed for the choir and which the choir then performed at the German Protestant Church Congress in 2023.
In the anniversary year, the choir invites you to two concerts with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s masterpiece, the Requiem. In addition to the professional orchestra put together by cellist Torsten Oehler, the choir will be joined by Kira Petry (soprano), Paola Alcocer (alto), Michel Brauer (tenor) and Tim-Lukas Reuter (bass) as a soloist. The concerts will take place on Saturday, November 9, from 7 pm in the “Dom der Rabenau”, the Protestant church in Londorf, and on Sunday, November 10, from 5 pm in the Protestant church in Lollar.
Entry to the box office is 20 euros, and there are smaller tickets for school children and students at 15 euros.
