Celebrated choral visit from northern Germany: Collegium Vocale Hannover presents highlights from the German-language choral a cappella repertoire on its tour through Sweden.
 

In addition to two late baroque motets by Johann Sebastian Bach (Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied and Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf) and Requiem by Peter Cornelius (Seele, vergiss nicht die Toten) there are also two compositions from 1900 and 21st century Switzerland on the program, including the well-known Messe pour double chœur a cappella by Frank Martin (1922/26) and a contemporary work by Beat Furrer from 2015.
 

In Piteå, the choir collaborates with the Academy of Music's chamber choir and Erik Westberg. Together, further sonorous works are performed. Welcome to the concert in Studio Acusticum on 5 October 2024 at 18.00.
 

The tour has been carried out with financial support from the Goethe-Institut.
