A choir concert between English expanses and Italian splendor

Under the title Between England and Italy, works by Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and other composers will be performed – interpreted by the choir at St. Michaelis, accompanied by Julia Graepel on the flute, Margarita Bock on the piano, and conducted by Renate Laurien.
A program with a fine tension arc
The concert combines romantic tonal colors with English choral literature and Italian radiance. This very mixture contributes to the charm of the afternoon: delicate voices, clear lines, and that warm, church-like acoustics that make choral music in St. Michaelis particularly compelling.

The ensemble not only promotes a cappella music but also larger spiritual works and has established a firm place in Braunschweig's musical life with its stylistic range. For this concert, the program choice speaks for musical care, finely tuned synchronization, and a sensitive feel for orchestration in a chamber music context.
