MDR RADIO CHOIR

Josep Vila i Casañas | Conductor

The evening choir concert in Stolberg's Martini Church concludes the series of events in Stolberg and at the same time the MDR Music Summer 2025. This program also focuses on the anniversary of the Peasants' War and the associated 500th anniversary of Thomas Müntzer's death. The MDR Radio Choir under the direction of Catalan conductor Josep Vila i Casañas will perform sacred choral music from Müntzer's time and vocal works from later eras that deal with the ever-present theme of the struggle against war and violence.

A day in Stolberg

There is already a lot to experience in Stolberg before the concert: You can immerse yourself in the time of Thomas Müntzer at various locations. For example, you can visit current exhibitions on the anniversary at the Alte Münze Museum or take part in the display of the annual medal "Peasants' War and Thomas Müntzer" on the Great Balancier. You can discover Stolberg Castle at the MDR summer music concert at 3 pm (extra ticket).
