Join Durham University Chamber Choir as they explore the luminous heart of German sacred music, tracing a journey through faith, mortality and consolation in masterpieces by Schütz, Bach, Brahms and Mendelssohn.
Durham University Chamber Choir presents Light of the Soul, an evening of German choral masterpieces spanning more than two centuries. From the intimacy and clarity of Schütz to the architectural brilliance of Bach, the programme explores music shaped by faith, mortality and a search for consolation. Brahms’ profound Warum ist das Licht gegeben forms the emotional heart of the concert, before Mendelssohn and Bach turn reflection towards assurance and radiant praise. Bringing together some of the richest music in the German sacred tradition, Light of the Soul traces a journey from darkness and questioning towards peace, conviction and an exultant final release.
