The extensive renovation of St John\u2019s Church in the heart of the city has taken five years. Work on revitalising the church, which serves as an open space for encounters, art and culture, is now almost complete. This forward-looking modernisation will be celebrated with a festive concert, in which cantor Wolfgang Abendroth pays tribute to the musical tradition of St John\u2019s Church, where 20th-century French music has always been particularly cherished. The programme features impressive, sonically rich works: Francis Poulenc\u2019s \u2018Gloria\u2019, Olivier Messiaen\u2019s \u2018Trois Petites Liturgies de la pr\u00e9sence\u2019 and Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns\u2019 \u2018Laudate Dominum\u2019 for double mixed choir, organ and orchestra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12373,"template":"","genre":[],"state":[153],"class_list":["post-12374","veranstaltung","type-veranstaltung","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","state-current"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
