Festive sounds of Advent: an unforgettable concert in Eisenach!

Eisenach, Deutschland - The festive sounds of the Advent season fulfilled the Nicolaikirche in Eisenach on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, where the renowned Franz-Schubert-Chor Eisenach under the direction of Dr. Hans Aschenbach performed an impressive concert. With an impressive repertoire, which included both A-cappella pieces and instrumental works, the choir delighted the numerous audience. Accompanied by the Geisa Stubenmusik, consisting of Christa Riemer, Marietta Hohmann and Rita Vogt, a musical gift of joy was celebrated, which put the audience in a contemplative mood. The choir, the members of which have an impressive average age of 70 years, presented surprisingly youthful voices with flawless intonation. As reported by the Rhönkanal, the event was a more colorful mix of tradition and fresh music, which is underlining how important the choir is for the cultural life of the region.

The Franz Schubert Choir Eisenach looks back on over five decades of successful choir work and has made a name for itself that is associated with high artistic demands. The choir's repertoire ranges from Renaissance works to modern choral music, whereby the compositions of his namesake Franz Schubert enjoy a special status. The choir has made numerous appearances and trips over the years, including a remarkable event in 2003, when the members were invited to the UNESCO Palace in Paris. As reported by the choir association Thuringia , the year will be decided with another festive concert in the Trinsterkirche Finsterbergen on December 14, 2024. This evening promises to further promote and celebrate the musical legacy of the choir.
