Easter high office: Beethoven sounds and festive fair in the basilica

Easter high office with the Messe C major op. 86 by Ludwig van Beethoven

The Easter Hochamt will be celebrated in the basilica next Sunday. This celebration marks the resurrection of Jesus, a central event in the Christian faith, which offers the greatest joy for the believers. The special meaning of this service is underlined by the musical performance, which highlights both the festive atmosphere and the spiritual depth of Easter night.

The cathedral choir will perform this solemn fair together with Bonnsonata. Supported by talented soloists and an orchestra, you will perform the Messe C major op. 86 by Ludwig van Beethoven. This composition, which is known for its harmonious structure and catchy melodies, comes from Beethoven's early style and puts the festive elements of Easter in the foreground. Under the musical direction of Markus Karas, the performance will certainly be an unforgettable experience for everyone present.

At this festival service, the city dean will celebrate the celebrations. It is a moment of the community, the gathering of believers who share their joy and gratitude for the resurrection of Jesus. The fair is not only a religious ritual, but also an opportunity to strengthen the connection within the community.

In addition, another holy mass takes place in the evening at 6 p.m., which is aimed specifically at young people. Kaplan Dr. Christian Jasper will lead this fair in the high choir of the basilica. This offer underlines the endeavor of the church to also address younger generations and to offer them a space for spiritual development and community.

Overall, the Easter Hochamt promises to become a rich and moving experience with the performance of Beethoven's Messe C major op. 86 that expresses the central message of Easter-hope and joy over life.
