Musik schafft Raum – für Emotionen und Gedanken, aber auch für Aufmerksamkeit und Vermittlung. Wir haben uns dafür entschieden, diesen Raum zu nutzen und ein Stück davon den SOS-Kinderdörfern weltweit zu widmen. Das Ziel ist es, die Menschen, die wir durch unsere Musik erreichen, auch für SOS begeistern zu können.

 

Auch wir müssen leider unser Konzert am kommenden Sonntag in Ahaus absagen, um eine exponentielle Ausbreitung des Coronavirus zu verhindern. Das Konzert wird nachgeholt! Wir checken freie Termine und dann erfahrt ihr sofort, wann. Bis dahin, und bleibt gesund <3

The last year has been beautiful. But of course, this 'beauty' that we are now looking back on also includes struggles and fears. There seems to be something about the yin and yang concept ;). In any case, we feel nothing but pure gratitude for what we were able to experience. Many thanks to everyone who supported us with action, love, or criticism.

2020 will be very exiting. In addition to already planned concerts, we will celebrate our 15th anniversary, which we can tell you more about soon!

At the start of the new year we are releasing the third and thus last piece, which was created during a live session last summer: A song with an immortal massage - 'Music For A While' by Henry Purcell arranged for 6 female voices. Click here to watch the video.

Wenn es knuspert
wo’s sonst knistert,
brühend heiß der Ofen wispert
„Stell mich aus, ich werde Asche“
und der Inhalt
letzter Flasche
Glühwein
zwischen Scherben schwimmt,
sag ich bestimmt
„So schön war’s nie.“
Denn ohne das
verliert die Weihnacht
ihre einzigartige
Magie.

‚Preisung‘ shows our affinity to contemporary choral music as well as a wonderful result of our close collaboration with composers around us, especially from our hometown Leipzig. Commissioning and performing new compositions forms an important part of our artistic work.

The organist and church musician Volker Bräutigam has shaped not only Leipzig‘s cultural life but as a teacher also many of its musical personalities. We recorded and published ‚Preisung‘ on the occasion of Volker Bräutigam‘s 80th birthday. In this piece his compositional language and Martin Buber‘s expressive text combine to an absolutely unique sound language.

Yesterday evening we had our debut at the big hall of Mozarteum in Salzburg. We are so grateful for such an enthusiastic audience in a sold out hall and of course we would like to thank the vocalensemble Hohes C that invited us to share this concert within the Salzburger Kulturtage!

About a year ago we met Ola Gjeilo, one of the best-known composers for choral music of our time, in New York City. On that day he brought us his piece ‚Nothern Lights‘, which we recorded for you on a rainy summerday in July. Click here to watch the video ...
