Together with the SWR Vokalensemble and the Ensemble Musikfabrik, the National Youth Choir of Germany invited guests to a wedding at the Alte Kelter in Fellbach. The concert programme ranged from Leonard Lechner's opulent wedding motet from 1584 to André Jolivet's virtuoso wedding cycle ‘Épithalame’, Peter Eötvös‘ wedding madrigal and Veljo Tormis’ ‘Votic Wedding Songs’ to Igor Stravinsky's Russian peasant wedding ‘Le noces’ for soloists, choir, four pianos and four percussionists. The musical direction was in the hands of Yuval Weinberg, chief conductor of the SWR Vokalensemble, and Anne Kohler. The concert was also streamed live on SWR Classic.
