Mozart heard again: Lörrach Choir inspires with transcultural cycle
On June 29, 2025 there will be a very special musical event in the Lörrach castle courtyard. The Lörrach motet choir, supported by the “asambura ensemble”, presents the work “Lux Perpetua – A transcultural cycle about eternity based on Mozart’s Requiem” as part of Voices 2025. The event is artistically directed by Joss Reinicke, an experienced conductor who inspires many with his skills and passion.
The piece “Lux Perpetua” examines the unfinished Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and addresses the complex relationship between eternity and death. The opening song, which deals with eternal rest (requiem aeternam) and eternal light (lux perpetua), creates a touching atmosphere. The work, created by Maximilian Guth, is interpreted as a funeral mass from a musical future that Mozart himself was never able to experience.
A unique musical approach
What makes “Lux Perpetua” so special is the innovative use of timbres and scales from different musical traditions. The piece reflects a variety of emotions and perspectives - from insight to despair. It connects cultures and religions in ways that speak to despair, hope and comfort. Here it becomes clear that music can not only cross borders, but is also a universal language that brings people together.
The Lörrach Motet Choir, which was founded in 1926, plays a central role here. With around 80 singers, the choir enriches the cultural landscape of the border triangle and combines musical quality with the joy of singing together. His repertoire ranges from baroque and classical to romantic choral music and contemporary pieces. In addition to a cappella performances, large orchestras are also used, which makes the concerts particularly impressive. This diversity is also reflected in the events that take place in Lörrach churches as well as in the castle courtyard and at guest concerts in the region, such as [Badische Newspaper](https://www.badische-zeitung.de/sonderthemen/stimm-2025-79443/uebersicht/motettenchor-loerrach-stellen-vor-29-juni-mozart-neu-hoerbar-machen-242781?utm_source=https%3 A%2F%2Fwww.badische-zeitung.de%2F&utm_medium=teaser_box&utm_campaign=%C3%9Cbersicht&utm_term=Motettenchor+L%C3%B6rrach+presents+on+29th+June+%3A+Mozart+new+h%C3%B6rbar+done).
Intercultural music making
Another important aspect is the interreligious and transcultural dimension of music-making. The connection between different musical traditions requires special skills. Reference is made to the importance of planning and network building in order to make musical projects successful. As emphasized on the Pueri Cantores website, collaborations with local organizations are crucial to reach specific target groups and bring together people of different cultural backgrounds.
“Lux Perpetua” is more than just a musical experience – it is a journey through different emotions and cultural expressions. The result will captivate not only the talented singers of the motet choir, but also the audience. Admission is free and everyone is warmly invited to listen to the sounds of eternity and take part in this special evening, as Motettenchor Lörrach reports.
The event promises to trigger a movement in the local cultural scene and offers an excellent opportunity to reflect on what is essential - what unites humanity in its diversity. Be there and experience how Mozart is made audible in a new way!
