MISSA - Frühingskonzert des Landesjugendchors Hamburg in St. Johannis Eppendorf Classical Music

With its spring concert "Missa," the Hamburg State Youth Choir presents an extraordinary choral program: The concert unites all the elements of the Mass – Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei – in settings from the Renaissance, Romantic, and modern periods. Instead of a single, unified Mass, the program offers a captivating panorama of works by diverse composers: from the clear polyphony of Palestrina to the Romantic expressiveness of Mendelssohn, Rheinberger, and Brahms, and on to the impressive soundscapes of contemporary composers like Rautavaara, Lauridsen, and Buchenberg. The result is a multifaceted Mass of our time – solemn, rich in contrasts, and deeply moving. Different musical languages merge into a cohesive whole, making the timeless message of the Mass accessible anew across eras. This polyphonic dramaturgy makes "Missa" a truly special concert experience.
