Charlotte Seiter has composed “zu welcher stunde” [“at which hour”] for orchestra for a musical journey through time by the Mitteldeutsche Kammerphilharmonie. The title of the concert in Stendal on 28 April 2022 is “1831 – Die Abschiedsstunde” [“The parting hour”], and combines the Seither premiere with works by Haydn, Krommer and Pleyel. “Paintings” for five-part chamber choir is a commission for the anniversary concert of the LandesJugendChor Rheinland-Pfalz, and receives its world premiere on 23 April in the Christuskirche Mainz conducted by Jan Schumacher. Choral music is an important focus of the composer’s work: “klanghalt”, a particularly appealing project, was written for the St. Gallen Chamber Choir. A spatial composition for vocal ensemble and three percussionists will be premiered in the cloister of the St Katharina Monastery, conducted by Katharina Jud on 21 May 2022.
