Dresden, Schloss Pillnitz — Schlosspark
About the Event
A peaceful outdoor serenade featuring the Dresden Kreuzchor, set in the beautiful Schlosspark of Schloss Pillnitz. Nowhere do culture and landscape merge as wonderfully as in the concert of the Dresden Kreuzchor at the Bergpalais in the park of Pillnitz Castle. The outdoor serenade, which has become a lovely tradition, sees the Crucians, under the direction of their choirmaster Martin Lehmann, delighting the audience on Whit Sunday with classical songs, well‐known folk tunes and contemporary arrangements. Enjoy the regal ambience of the palace and park and let yourself be carried away by the bright sound of the young singers (hopefully under a bright blue sky)!
Artists
| Choir: | Dresdner Kreuzchor The history of the Dresdner Kreuzchor (Choir of the Church of the Holy Cross) spans well over seven hundred years. Founded as a Latin grammar school at the “capella sanctae crucis”, today known as the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross), the choir has been instrumental in preserving to the present day the medieval tradition of choral liturgy sung by boys' choirs. Being the oldest artistic institution still to be funded by the city, the choir is an essential part of the city's identity. |
