Two Requiems, a compelling concert evening in Munich

On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Paul-Gerhardt-Chor will perform two works about transience, judgment, grace, and hope in the Paul-Gerhardt Church in Munich: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's famous Requiem and John Rutter's modern Requiem. The concert begins at 5 PM.

Between Mozart and Rutter: Sound images of death and comfort

Mozart's Requiem is one of the best-known sacred works in music history. Its dramatic orchestration, striking choral passages, and the intense tension between the Dies irae and the plea for eternal light give the work a distinctive emotional power. John Rutter's Requiem places the same liturgical thought into a contemporary sound language and expands the traditional Requiem with Psalm texts from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.

Choral sound, soloists, and orchestra in the Paul-Gerhardt Church

The approximately one hundred singers of the Paul-Gerhardt-Chor will perform the concert together with the Munich Oratorio Orchestra. Under the direction of Ilse Krüger, precise conducting, multi-layered orchestral colors, and an expressive stage performance meet the acoustics of the church space. Featured soloists include Gisela Weinberger, soprano, Regine Jurda, alto, Q-Won Han, tenor, and Raphael Sigling, bass.

A concert experience between warning and hope

The juxtaposition of the two Requiems opens a musical dialogue spanning two centuries. Mozart's dark drama is met by Rutter's modern, luminous sound language. The audience's mood shifts between focused silence, powerful choral entries, and those quiet moments when the church space itself becomes a part of the sound.
