About the Concert

The Dresden Kreuzchor presents a diverse program that includes both a cappella works and compositions with Basso Continuo. A special highlight is the performance of Ēriks Ešenvalds' "Stars," an impressive choral work accompanied by the glass harmonica. The spherical sounds of the water-tuned glasses give the music an almost otherworldly dimension - calm and cosmic, simultaneously mysterious and spiritual. The sensitive words of the piece merge with the floating sounds to create an intense listening experience. In addition to this contemporary work, works from composers ranging from Schütz to Reger are also featured in the program, showcasing the versatility of the long-standing boys' choir.

Kreuzkantor

Since the fall of 2022, Martin Lehmann has been the 29th Kreuzkantor, making him the incumbent of one of the most prestigious posts in Protestant church music. He was a member of the Crucians himself during his childhood and youth, and later studied choral and orchestral conducting in Dresden. He gained important experience during his studies as an assistant to Hans-Christoph Rademann at the Dresden Chamber Choir. After working in Leipzig and Wuppertal, he took over the Windsbacher Knabenchor for ten years in 2012.

Philipp Marguerre

Trained as a pianist, Philipp Marguerre is one of the few people in the world who has mastered the art of playing the glass harmonica. He plays the solo parts in operas such as Donizetti's “Lucia di Lammermoor”, Strauss' “Die Frau ohne Schatten” and Benjamin's “Written on Skin” all over the world and devotes himself to the original chamber music and concert repertoire for the instrument, both alone and as a member of the glass music ensemble Sinfonia di vetro.

Dresdner Kreuzchor

The Dresden Kreuzchor is one of the oldest and most famous boys' choirs in the world. Even after more than 800 years, one of its most important tasks is to sing in the liturgical services of the Kreuzkirche on Dresden's Altmarkt, where it performs in vespers and church services and regularly gives concerts with outstanding works of sacred music. In addition, the Kruzianer, who have been singing under the direction of Martin Lehmann since 2022, regularly go on tours at home and abroad as cultural ambassadors for Dresden.
