The Dresden Kreuzchor commemorated the destruction of the city on the Elbe during the Second World War with a moving concert. A few days before the anniversary of the devastating bombings on February 13, 1945 and in the days that followed, the boys' choir under the direction of Kreuzkantor Martin Lehmann performed Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental Mass in B minor in the packed Kreuzkirche.
In addition to the Dresden Festival Orchestra, whose members played on period instruments, the soloist ensemble stood out with the Austrian soprano Miriam Feuersinger, her compatriot Daniel Johannsen (tenor), the German artists Hanna Zumsande (soprano) and Marie Henriette Reinhold (alto) and the bass Tobias Berndt.
