The Bremer Domchor (Bremen Cathedral Choir) has enriched the city's cultural life since 1856. Its members meet several times a week with commitment and joy in singing together at rehearsals. The varied repertoire includes music from the early Baroque (e.g. Claudio Monteverdi: Marienvesper 1610) to the present day (Otfried Büsing: Adonai 2009, world premiere).
In addition to the regular organization of church services and the “Motetten”, the focus of the work of the Bremer Domchor is on the performances of great oratorios from the 18th and 19th centuries, supplemented by numerous a cappella works. Frequent live broadcasts by radio stations, CD productions (including Ein Deutsches Requiem by Johannes Brahms, awarded the German Record Critics' Prize) reflect the high level of the choir.
Many choir members also sing in small-scale projects, which greatly benefits the quality of the large cathedral choir. Concert tours have taken the Bremer Domchor to e.g. France, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Israel and the USA. |
