The year comes to an end with music and readings in St. Georgenkirche Waren (Müritz) on 31 December 2023. This year, Christiane Drese will be playing the chest organ, as the pipes of the large Lütkemüller organ are currently in the restoration workshop of the Dresden organ builder Wegscheider. She is looking forward to her musical guests: Luise Schneeweiß on the violin and Imki Niemeier on the double bass. As a trio, they will play the chorales “Das alte Jahr vergangen ist” and “Wie schön leucht’ uns der Morgenstern” in arrangements by Johann Sebastian Bach and Sigfrid Karg-Elert. Dorothée Hahne will perform the composition “Gestern – Heute – Morgen” and Johann Sebastian Bach’s Pastorella BWV 590, while Pastor Anja Lünert will read cheerful and thought-provoking texts.
The New Year’s Eve concert begins at 9 pm. Admission is free, donations for the restoration of the Lütkemüller organ are requested. Continue reading…
