Festival Theaterformen – Opening Concert Domsingschule

50 Years of Domsingschule

The Domsingschule Braunschweig was founded fifty years ago and has since decisively shaped the city's sacred music landscape. In recent decades, numerous singers have emerged from the Domsingschule, now active in choirs, ensembles, and on international opera stages.

World Premiere of "Finden, was verloren schien"

For its anniversary, the Domsingschule has commissioned its own commissioned composition: "Finden, was verloren schien". The work will have its world premiere on May 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM in the Braunschweig Cathedral (Dom St. Blasii). It brings together the various ensembles of the Domsingschule and the Cathedral in a unified sound.

Participating Ensembles

• Kurrenden and Youth Choir of the Domsingschule
• Vokalensemble am Dom
• Dom Symphony Orchestra
• Musical Direction: Elke Lindemann, Cathedral Choir Director and Artistic Director of the Domsingschule

Festive Occasion

The world premiere also opens the festival week celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Domsingschule, which will feature further concerts, services, and gatherings. The Braunschweig Cathedral (Dom St. Blasii), as the mother church of the Domsingschule, provides a historically fitting setting.
