Ensemble Naumann - In Paradisum

In the organizer's words:

The simple, touching beauty of French music reached a musical peak in Gabriel Fauré. To mark the 100th anniversary of his death, his most important works will be performed in a large concert with choir, orchestra, harp and organ.

At the center of the concert is his "gentle" Requiem, in which he came to terms with the death of his father and mother and created a timeless work of great consolation and redemptive edification in a unique way. Ensemble Naumann wants to lift this personal spirit and perform the work in its original 1889 form. Other, sometimes lesser-known musical treasures by the French master Fauré will also be performed, such as theCantique de Jean Racine or the tragic Élégie dedicated to his deceased wife. The concert will be rounded off with works by Schütz, Zelenka and Elgar.

The famous and heartfelt "Pie Jesu" will be sung by the versatile soprano Helena Huber, who has mastered the entire repertoire from opera to musical and can be heard regularly in various productions, e.g. Residenztheater Munich, Hoftheater Bergkirchen or Agon Theater Munich. The Augsburg Art Prize winner Matthias Lika, who recently made his debut at the Bachakademie Stuttgart and the Füssen Festival of Early Music, will take on the baritone part with his warm voice. Finally, basilica organist Peter Bader will enchant the people of Augsburg on the organ.

Experience a wonderful evening full of depth, consolation and enchanting beauty!
