Moving concert: Dvořák's Stabat Mater inspires Apolda!

Lutherkirche Apolda, Apolda, Deutschland - The Lutherkirche Apolda celebrates its 130th anniversary this year with an extraordinary concert. The impressive work “Stabat Mater” by Antonín Dvořák will be performed from 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 17th. This concert is of particular importance because it takes place on the Memorial Day, an occasion that stimulates many to think about loss and hope.

The "Stabat Mater" is a historical hymn that addresses the grief of the Virgin Mary on the cross of her son. Numerous composers have devoted themselves to this moving topic over the centuries, but Dvořák's setting is one of the most outstanding examples of the church music of the 19th century. It is particularly exciting for the community that this important work will now be heard in Apolda for the first time.

The musical performances

Numerous talented soloists and ensembles have gathered for the performance. Among the contributors are Eleonore Marguerre (soprano), Alena-Maria Stolle (Mezzosopran), André Khamasmie (tenor) and Daniel Blumenschein (bass). The Apolda vocal district and the Oratorien project choir Bad Berka, led by Julia Raasch, bring their votes to the concert. The Central German Chamber Orchestra complements the performance under the musical direction of district cantor Mike Nych. Together they promise an impressive sound experience that brings out the emotions of the piece.

The event invites you to experience a common reflection on the subjects of loss and hope. The emotional depths that the work appeals will surely captivate many listeners. It is an opportunity to pause and think about what comes up on such a moving day.
