Deutsche Chormeisterschaft 2021

November 26, 2021 Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Deutsche Chormeisterschaft – Offene Bühne was meant to celebrate the return of German choirs to live stages after a long period of silence due to the pandemic: 21 choirs from all over Germany had registered for this event and were looking forward to finally performing again in the churches of the city of Koblenz.

Due to the current situation, following the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute, INTERKULTUR and the city of Koblenz, in agreement with the affected choirs, have decided not to hold the planned choir concerts on November 27 in Koblenz, in order not to risk the health of all participants.

Nevertheless, the coming weekend in Koblenz will not simply pass in silence!

On Friday, November 26 at 20:00 h., the renowned vocal ensemble amarcord from Leipzig will perform a streaming concert from the Basilica of St. Kastor – as a prelude concert to the first Deutsche Chormeisterschaft now taking place in Koblenz in October 2022!

The concert will be streamed live via this link and is also broadcast on the Offener Kanal Koblenz.

INVITATION

I would like to thank the numerous choirs from all over Germany who had registered for the Deutsche Chormeisterschaft – Offene Bühne this year and were looking forward to a musical Advent weekend of mutual singing in Koblenz together with us. Despite the current painful circumstances, however, we want to take a positive look into the future and make sure that this year will be a prelude to the first Deutsche Chormeisterschaft to take place in October 2022 in Koblenz under regular conditions!

Schedule

amarcord

Distinctive sound, breathtaking homogeneity, a clear musical style, and a fair amount of charm and wit are the special trademarks of amarcord. The extremely diverse and wide-ranging repertoire includes chants from the Middle Ages, madrigals and masses from the Renaissance, compositions and cycles of works from the European Romantic period and the 20th century, as well as worldwide collected a cappella arrangements of folk songs and well-known songs from soul and jazz.

The vocal ensemble has won prizes at numerous international competitions. Along with the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the St. Thomas Boys Choir, amarcord is one of the most important representatives of Leipzig as a city of music, both at home and abroad. The group regularly makes guest appearances at major music festivals. Numerous concert tours have taken the singers to more than 50 countries and to almost all continents of the world. The ensemble's impressively multifaceted program is documented on many CDs and has won numerous awards.

Impressions

Destination

The ‘German Corner’ with its emperor, the Electoral Palace, kilometres of waterfront promenades, Stolzenfels Castle, the epitome of Rhine romance and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress overlooking the city. The spectacular cable car over the Rhine, the wine village, the Forum Confluentes... And much more: Koblenz is not only one of Germany’s oldest cities but also one of the most diverse.

Churches, castles, palaces and historic town houses tell the story of past times, while winding streets and squares invite you to stroll around and relax. The vineyards and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress also provide incomparable views over the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, keeping the romance of the Rhine alive.
