Bridges - Classical Meets Pop

The Leipzig ensembles Quintense and Ensemble Nobiles combine classical vocal art with contemporary pop aesthetics in this crossover project. The programme spans Gregorian chant and the works of Thomas Tallis, Max Reger, and John Cage through to Coldplay and folk song arrangements - carefully crafted arrangements deliberately blur the boundaries between genres.

The programme includes, among others: Ralph Carmichael (1927-2021): A Quiet Place; trad. Gregorian: Da pacem Domine; Nicholas Petricca (1987): Iscariot; Thomas Tallis (1505-1585): O Lord in Thee Is All My Trust; John Cage (1912-1992): Litany for the Whale; Carsten Göpfert (1993): Nachtlied; Max Reger (1873-1916): Nachtlied; Martin Lorenz (1986): Make a Change; Ruth Zechlin (1926-2007): Scheyerer Messe (Kyrie); Paul Heller (1991): Von guten Mächten wunderbar geborgen; Erik Bosio (*1983): Never More Will the Wind; Knut Nystedt (1915-2014): Immortal Bach; and further works.
