Musical traditions and connecting elements

What connects Pierre Certon, a Christian Franco-Flemish composer of the early 16th century, and Salamone Rossi, who published the first polyphonic pieces for the Jewish liturgy around 1620?



How do Johann Sebastian Bach and Ethel Smyth deal with the same cantus firmus?

How does the Lithuanian composer Onuté Narbutaité process natural sounds in an a cappella choral piece?

And what does the ballad from Mackie Messer gain when it is transformed into a bossa nova song?


The Schöneberg Chamber Choir examines musical traditions that are foreign to each other at first glance and looks at which elements connect them. A program about borrowing, reusing, adopting, transforming and the musical spaces that arise from this.


The Schöneberg Chamber Choir is a colorful mix of music-loving people of all ages. With choir director Marina Kerdraon-Dammekens, classical vocal music from various genres, regions and languages, from the Renaissance to contemporary choral literature, is worked on with fun and just as much ambition.
