Invitation to the summer concert

As part of the celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the HSZG, the university choir invites you to Zittau on June 25.

The University Choirwill once again present a summer concert in Zittau on Sunday, June 25; this year’s program features the Mass in E-flat Major (Carl Maria von Weber), also known as the “Freischütz Mass.” Also on the program is the symphonic choral concert “Der Tag ist hin” by choir director Neithard Bethke. For the first time, the choir will perform alongside the Prague Chamber Choir, a professional ensemble with which future performances are planned in both Prague and Zittau.

Soloist Alessia Hyunkung Park from Seoul/Stuttgart will take on the demanding solo parts with her clear soprano voice. Christian Volkmann from Bremen will sing the equally challenging tenor parts. We are very pleased to be able to enjoy another performance with the German Bach Orchestra this year. Neithard Bethke will serve as the concert’s overall conductor.

Admission is free; we ask for a generous donation.

The concert is part of the celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.

We would like to thank the following organizations for their financial support: the German-Czech Future Fund in Prague, the company Transoceanica, Sparkasse Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien, the Free State of Saxony, the City of Zittau, the 'Studentenwerk' (student union) in Dresden, and the Zittau-Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. We would also like to thank the International Carl Maria von Weber Foundation and the Graphische Werkstätten Zittau for their extraordinarily generous and very helpful practical support!
