Mozart newly experienced: Motet Choir Lörrach presents Lux Perpetua!

In Lörrach, exciting sound worlds are facing: The Motet Choir Lörrach and the "Asambura Ensemble" will present their new work "Lux Perpetua" on Sunday, June 29th, at 6 p.m. in the Lörrach Castle.

This makes the concert part of the renowned series of events in 2025, which attracts numerous music lovers every year and enriches the region culturally. Badische Zeitung reports that the performance of the musical polarity between light and darkness arouses special emotions.

The Motetenchor Lörrach, active in the region since 1926, consists of around 80 singers who cover a wide range of music styles. From Baroque to romantic choir sounds to contemporary works - the choir always looks for good things in singing together. The performances take place not only in the Lörracher churches, but also in an appealing room such as the castle courtyard, which is valued for its special acoustics. This not only promotes the joy of making music, but also brings together culture and community in the border triangle region, as described on the website of the motet choir

a transcultural experience

"Lux Perpetua" not only addresses the eternal calm (Requiem Aeternam) and the eternal light (Lux Perpetua), but also combines different cultures and religions. The composition includes a variety of timbres and scales that come from different music traditions. This transcultural approach requires special competencies that are also valued for interreligious music projects, as described in an article of the Pueri Cantores

The project contributes to the creation of a common space in which people can find a wide range of cultural origin. Desperation, hope and consolation are central topics that flow through the composition and take the audience on an emotional journey. The Lörrach children's and youth choir is also involved in the concert, which gives the whole an additional grade of liveliness.

The concert promises to become an impressive experience in which the boundaries between cultures blur and the music can be experienced in its most beautiful form. So if you have an ear or heart for deep musical discoveries, you should mark June 29th in the calendar and look forward to an unforgettable event.
