Brahms’ Requiem fills the Johanneskirche with comfort and great sound richness

On Sunday, November 15, 2026, Johannes Brahms’ A German Requiem will ring out in the Johanneskirche in Düsseldorf. The Düsseldorf Chamber Choir and the Johanneskantorei will perform this significant work of Romantic choral music together with two solo voices under the direction of Wolfgang Abendroth.

Romantic choral music between intimacy and sonic power

Brahms’ Requiem is considered one of the most impressive sacred works of the 19th century. Unlike a traditional Latin mass for the dead, the composition aims for comfort, hope, and human confidence. Choir, solo voices, and orchestral colors combine to create a broadly stretched musical architecture.

A concert with precise conducting and moving atmosphere

Under Wolfgang Abendroth's direction, differentiated dynamics, precise synchronization, and an intense stage performance meet the special acoustics of the Johanneskirche. Soft, almost floating passages stand alongside powerful choral sections, where the richness of the work unfolds completely. The audience's mood promises a concentrated concert experience between devotion and great musical tension.

Wolfgang Abendroth and Düsseldorf choral music

Wolfgang Abendroth has been the cantor and organist at the Johanneskirche since 2002, as well as the artistic director of the Johanneskantorei and the Düsseldorf Chamber Choir. The church music director studied church music and organ in Cologne, teaches organ improvisation at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, and received the Düsseldorf State Capital Music Promotion Award in 2010.

A special evening for classical and choral fans

The Johanneskantorei works on demanding choral literature from the Renaissance to the present and regularly performs major works of church music. Brahms’ Requiem offers an ideal combination of orchestral expansiveness, vocal precision, and emotional depth.

Anyone wishing to experience sacred music, Romantic orchestration, and an intense live atmosphere will find an extraordinary concert date in Düsseldorf that evening. Secure your ticket and experience Brahms’ Requiem live in the Johanneskirche.
