Gregorian Voices: Gregorian Chant Meets Pop—From the Middle Ages to Today
Sunday, December 18, 7:00 p.m.
Klausen Pilgrimage Church
As soon as the first “dominoes” appear in the supermarkets—that is, right after summer break—we find ourselves in The concert is a captivating, spine-tingling experience of a special kind:
The powerful voices of the singers perform the pieces with intoxicating clarity, and thanks to the concert’s musical precision and the choir’s pure vocals, it invites you to unwind and escape the daily grind in a wonderful way.
What makes this choir exceptional is that it enriches early medieval Gregorian chants with pop songs, breathing new life into them and offering fresh interpretations. “The Gregorian Voices” impressively arrange famous pop classics in the Gregorian style.
Even with this daring experiment, they elicit overwhelming reactions from the audience: “intense, stirring, outstanding, or astonishing” are exclamations frequently heard.
Hearing Rod Stewart’s “I’m Sailing” in a sacred arrangement is an emotional experience. “Imagine,” a well-known song by John Lennon, also consistently earns thunderous applause, as does “Ameno” by ERA.
Oh Pannenbaum - Cabaret with Sia Korthaus
Thursday, December 3, 8:00 p.m.

The chances that the Advent wreath will survive four weeks unscathed are slim to none, and the tree leaves romantic marks on the real wood parquet floor. Anyone familiar with Sia knows that, despite her hearty humor, her shows never lack substance and depth.
In the end, the mood turns contemplative, and everyone thinks, “Oh, Christmas can actually be pretty nice!”
