It is the 4th consecutive year that choral director Philipp Amelung from University of Tübingen joins Horto Festival with an exciting choice of choral pieces that will be rehearsed and performed in the ideal scenery of the picturesque seaside village of Pelion.
Period: August 31 – September 6 (August 30: day of arrival – September 7: day of departure)
Conductor: Philipp Amelung
Registration fee: € 200 plus / € 140 (for singers up to 28 years old), scroll down to register to the course or click here.
*plus means that the amount for participation can be increased voluntarily with the aim of reaching the required € 4,000 by 31 May 2025. Since funding for 2025 seems to be difficult our aim is to continue the choral week on a more self sustainable basis.
Programme:
Heinrich Schütz: Lobe den Herrn meine Seele, Verleih uns Frieden
Thomas Tallis: O nata lux
Johann Sebastian Bach: Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, Psallite deo nostro
Heinrich Isaac: Innsbruck ich muss dich lassen
Johannes Brahms: O schöne Nacht, Waldesnacht
Charles Villiers Stanford: Magnificat
Michael Tippett: Go down Moses, Deep river
Since April 2011, Philipp Amelung has been the director of Camerata Vocalis. He is eager to continue the tradition of his predecessors and, as a result, the choir continues to act as an ambassador for the University of Tübingen abroad and performs concert programmes of less well known or new music. Highlights of these concert tours have been Israel and Palestine (2012), Brazil (2013), Saxony (Leipzig and Dresden 2014) and Sweden (2016).
