Zum Programm

»Incidentally, it is nice that our ideas remain so close to each other«, wrote Felix Mendelssohn to his beloved sister Fanny Hensel. Both grew up as musical child prodigies and throughout their lives were mutually involved in each other’s musical creations – even if the sister gave her brother more support and recognition than vice versa. The Bachchor Stuttgart’s summer concert juxtaposes sacred compositions for solo voice, chorus and organ by the two famous siblings.
