Émotion Baroque: Baroque Choral Music Fills Bad Godesberg
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the St. Mary's Church in Bonn-Bad Godesberg will transform into a space for great spiritual choral music. At the concert Émotion Baroque, Eurochorus presents two impressive works of the Baroque: Johann Sebastian Bach's Mass in F major BWV 233 and Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Requiem Mass in G minor.
Bach and Charpentier Between Clarity and Drama
Johann Sebastian Bach's Lutheran Mass in F major combines precise contrapuntal lines with festive sonority. The voices intertwine, motifs travel through the choral movements, and from the finely tuned orchestration emerges a concert experience that is both concentrated and luminous.
Charpentier's Requiem Mass sets a darker, more expressive counterpoint. In the French Baroque tradition, music unfolds full of tension, sorrow, and inner motion. The interaction of choir, orchestra, and sacred acoustics allows the audience's mood to respond instantly to the timbres.
Eurochorus Brings International Choral Community to Bonn
The concert marks the conclusion of the Eurochorus project 2026. Singers from the German-French choral community perform together with Cappella Confluentes, soloists Katharina Kohoff, Marie-Louise Mensch, Vincent Kepser, and Vincent Rendenbach, as well as conductor Henrik Hasenberg. The ensemble combines musical precision with a lively stage performance.
Church Space as a Resonance Body
The St. Mary's Church in Bad Godesberg offers a fitting resonance space for Baroque choral music. After the doors open at 4:30 PM, a concert lasting about 90 minutes begins at 5:00 PM. The acoustic atmosphere of the church space makes every dynamic nuance audible: from the transparent choral texture to the powerful tutti.
An Evening for Friends of Great Choral Music
Émotion Baroque is aimed at everyone who appreciates spiritual music, historical sound language, and impressive live atmosphere. Two stylistically different masterpieces meet an international choral idea and an experienced orchestra. Those who wish to not only hear Bach and Charpentier but experience their entire spatial impact will find a special concert evening in Bonn.
Conclusion: Émotion Baroque promises an intense choral concert with Baroque radiance, French colorfulness, and musical depth. Mark the concert date now and experience the special atmosphere live at St. Mary's Church.
