When the earth stands still

The ‘Vokalensemble Kulturgarten’ from Regensburg under the direction of Marina Szudra is giving its first concert in the twin town of Brixen. ‘When the earth stands still’, the title piece by the contemporary American composer Don Macdonald, is the programme for a musical pause with works by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, whose 500th birthday we are celebrating this year, Anton Bruckner, Max Reger, Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Dan Forrest and Knut Nystedt, among others. The impressive atmosphere of the baroque seminary church invites you to leave the hustle and bustle of the city and the hectic pace of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the sonorous a cappella music. Short texts, read by the ensemble members, round off the programme.
