Re: Boys Choir Festival - Essen - 17-18 September 2022
I was very lucky to have such an event in my neighbouring city Essen.
Yesterday noon (Saturday), the Essener Domsingknaben and Capella Ludgeriana from Münster mostly presented German folk songs to the public on a stage next to Essen Cathedral. I found it a good idea to address passers-by with some secular music and it was joined by many people despite the rainy weather.
In the evening, a gala concert ("Pueri Cantores") took place at Philharmonie Essen. Beside the host Essener Domsingknaben and the already mentioned Capella Ludgerina am Dom zu Münster, the following choirs took part as well: Mainzer Domchor, Kölner Domchor, Regensburger Domspatzen, Freiburger Domsingknaben, Knabenchor Hannover.
The concept of the concert was quite similar to the Nuremberg festival this summer. Every choir presented some songs, most of which where spiritual ones (see attached programme). All choirs had male voices with them and like in Nuremberg two or three male-only songs were presented, while the boys remained sitting. In the end, all choirs together sang "Abendlied" (Rheinberger).
It was a fantastic concert evening for me and a well-appreciated opportunity to experience some of the most popular German choirs live for the first time
