The combination of vocal and instrumental music of the highest quality and the inspiring artistic collaboration between the two ensembles promise to deliver a vibrant, innovative musical experience.The two chamber ensembles have long planned to strengthen their namesake relationship through artistic collaboration. Their joint concert will be held at the alma mater and eponymous institution of both groups, but this time the focus will be on the German capital, Berlin rather than Franz Liszt himself. In the first half of the concert, Arvo Pärt’s famous late 20th-century work for choir and organ, the Berlin Mass, will be performed in its original version by the choir and chamber orchestra. The second part will feature a magnificent late Baroque work, the Magnificat, by Carl Philipp Emanuel, the second-best-known member of the Bach family, written in Berlin in 1749.
