An Evening Between Lament, Comfort and Hope in the Friedenskirche Potsdam
The Oratorio Choir Potsdam invites you to an intense concert evening, transforming the great questions of life into sound with choir, solis, and orchestra. On November 21, 2026, a program unfolds at the Friedenskirche Potsdam-Sanssouci that leads from the depths of despair to the breadth of hope.
Music That Gets Under Your Skin
Lili Boulanger's Psalm 130 opens the evening with a tonal glance into darkness, before Cecilia McDowall's Da Vinci Requiem interweaves historical spirituality and modern sound language. John Rutter's Requiem ultimately seeks peace, reconciliation, and that quiet sigh of relief that only great choral music can evoke.
Strong Cast, Fine Orchestration
The Oratorio Choir Potsdam performs together with soloists and the New Chamber Orchestra Potsdam under the direction of Kantor Fabian Pasewald. It is this very connection of vocal presence, orchestral transparency, and spiritual tension that makes the concert experience so special: the acoustics of the Friedenskirche carry voices and strings with clear contours, while the historical architecture of the church creates a dignified, almost meditative live atmosphere.
A Place with Resonance and History
The Friedenskirche in Park Sanssouci is one of the sound-rich concert venues in Potsdam. The quiet location at Am Grünen Gitter 3, the proximity to the palace park, and the carefully maintained church music tradition provide a special framework for the evening. Anyone who experiences a concert here immediately senses why spiritual music has always held a firm place in cultural life in Potsdam.
For Listeners with a Sense of Great Feelings
This concert is aimed at all who want to not only hear choral music but experience it physically: at people who appreciate emotional tension arcs, differentiated sound colors, and a precise stage performance. The works of the evening depict a panorama of grief, memory, and hope that resonates particularly intensely in the live atmosphere of the Friedenskirche.
Anyone looking for an evening full of spiritual depth, musical tension, and touching sound moments should experience this concert live. Here, demanding choral music combines with a unique venue to create a concert experience that lingers long after.
