Erhöre mich!

Hear me!

Brief description

Featuring works by Hambreus // W.A. Mozart // Mindaugas Urbaitis // Bruckner // J.H. Schein // Lischka (world premiere) // Pepping // and others

The Meißner Kantorei 1961 focuses on contemporary

sacred choral works of the 20th and 21st centuries and is a national chamber choir that combines demanding modern works with “classical”

choral music (from Heinrich Schütz to Hugo Distler).

The Meißner Kantorei is hosting a singing week dedicated to new church music from July 11 to 19, 2026. The singing week, during which this concert will take place, is a collaboration between the Church Choir Department of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony and the Meißner Kantorei 1961 e.V.; the latter is responsible for organization and execution. Some of the singers come from the Meißner Kantorei and will join forces with the external participants to form a choir that will rehearse this repertoire during the singing week; the performances will take place at St. Andreas in Hamburg and at Ratzeburg Cathedral.
