Works by Heinrich Schutz include three dramatic short motets: "Das ist je gwisslich wahr", "Die mit tranen saen" and "Was betrubst du dich meine Seele". Works by Hugo Distler include his two major works, "Wachet Auf" and "Das ist je gewisslich wahr", as well as several shorter pieces. The chorus will be accompanied by Lynnette Combs or organ and Tom Jocks on cello.

Come and enjoy a wonderful evening of German choral music!
