Local musical and choral events announced in Germany

The St.-Paulus-Kantorei will perform Gioachino Rossini’s ‘Petite Messe solennelle’ at the Paulus-Kirche on November 7 and 8. Under the direction of Cantor Wolfgang Hofmann, the performance features soloists Marlen Korf, Julie Caffier, Timo Rößner, and Tom Kessler, accompanied by Irmgard Treutler on piano and the saxophone quartet CLASSIC 4 SAX. The quartet will perform the parts originally intended for harmonium.

Led by District Cantor Tobias Martin, the choir will prepare for a ‘British Christmas’ service at the Apostelkirche on November 26. Rehearsals begin on November 2 at the Lukaskirche community center. Participation is free, and no prior choral experience is required.
