In mid-October, the University of Music's chamber choir gathered before the start of term to set off on an excursion to Berlin. In a week of intensive rehearsals, the young singers prepared a concert programme that included Distler's "Totentanz" and excerpts from Rheinberger's "Cantus Missae".
The concert programme was performed in the Baptist church in Berlin-Wannsee, where the actor Stephan Schill and the recorder player and music theory student Paula Kaiser performed as soloists.
The following day, the Sunday mass in Berlin Cathedral was organised together with the Kammerchor der Künste Berlin. This enabled a lively exchange and a friendly relationship to be established with the students of the University of the Arts. The students sang double-choir works together and were able to benefit from the different influences of the two choirs as well as the two choral conducting professors Maike Bühle and Benedikt Haag. The Würzburg students also enjoyed the hospitality of their fellow students from Berlin at an evening get-together and get-together.
All in all, it was a successful weekend during which the chamber choir was able to prove itself on behalf of the Würzburg University of Music outside of Bavaria and establish good contacts with the Kammerchor der Künste Berlin.
