Dvořák's Stabat Mater in the Great Auditorium: an evening full of sound, comfort, and great choral energy
With Antonín Dvořák's Stabat Mater, the University Choir Munich will bring one of the most moving sacred choral works of the 19th century to the Great Auditorium of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich on July 18, 2026. The work, created in 1876/77 under the impression of heavy personal losses, combines heartfelt mourning, dramatic intensification, and a concluding section that unfolds hope and comfort with great musical expansiveness.

A sound space for great emotions
The Great Auditorium of LMU provides the perfect stage for a choral-symphonic work like this: a historical setting, a concentrated live atmosphere, and a hall where the choir, soloists, and orchestra can fully unleash their impact. The University Choir Munich explicitly announces the performance as a summer project 2026; the program features Dvořák's monumental setting for soloists, choir, and orchestra.

Between mourning and hope
Stabat Mater is considered one of the great tests of choral literature. Especially in Munich, this work encounters an audience that seeks the range between quiet intimacy and powerful orchestral force. Dvořák shapes the medieval text into an impressive musical narrative: first pain and compassion, then increasing calm, and finally a perspective opening towards comfort and hope. This promises a concert experience with strong emotional pull. ([muenchenticket.de](https://www.muenchenticket.de/event/stabat-mater-38608/))
University Choir Munich: large ensemble, clear presence
The University Choir Munich looks back on more than 65 years of history and currently has around 200 members. For the concert in the Great Auditorium, the choir brings the experience from its academic concert operations, where precision, homogeneity, and clean synchronization are crucial. Exactly this makes the charm of such performances: When the choir voices breathe as one, lively dramaturgy emerges from the sheet music.
