The sextet “Singer pur”, which was recently awarded the “Opus Klassik 2022”, presents its program “Horizons – the spirit blows where it wants” in the Neuried parish church.
A church should ideally be a place where the genius loci is identical with the Holy Spirit. When the vocal ensemble “Singer pur” presents its concert program “Horizons – the spirit blows where it wants” (Spirit-filled vocal music from different cultures) in the Neuried parish church this Sunday, October 23, there will definitely be a spiritual one , unfold musical magic of a special kind. This is not only due to the repertoire such as “Come, Holy Spirit, Lord God” by Johann Sebastian Bach or Veni Creator Spiritus (from the ninth century) and sublime pieces of music from other cultures, but also to the vocal class of the sextet, which is celebrating its 30th birthday this year -year stage anniversary celebrated. Since his debut concert in March 1992, Singer Pur – in the original line-up five former Regensburg cathedral sparrows and one soprano – has developed into one of the leading international a cappella formations.
Of the original cast, which at that time included the baritone and initiator of the well-known concert hall in Blaibach, Thomas E. Bauer, only tenor Markus Zapp is still there – the quality of the ensemble, which includes the world-famous “Hilliard Ensemble” maintained a long musical collaboration and won several Echo Klassik prizes in addition to many other awards, still meets the highest standards. At the beginning of October, the ensemble, whose special feature also lies in the seductive sound combination – one female voice, five male voices – won the “Opus Klassik 2022” for the best choral recording (“Among Whirlwinds”) in Berlin. In addition to Zapp, the ensemble includes Claudia Reinhard, soprano, Christian Meister, tenor, Manuel Warwitz, tenor, as well as Jakob Steiner, baritone, and Felix Meybier, bass. The concert in Neuried starts at 6 p.m. Admission tickets can be purchased in advance via Munich Ticket.
