The figuralchor k\u00f6ln<\/em> was founded in 1986 by its choirmaster, Richard Mail\u00e4nder and Dr. Friedhelm Hofmann, who was, at that time, the chaplain of Cologne Artists\u2019 Union and who later became the Bishop of W\u00fcrzburg.<\/p>\n

The choir consists of approximately 50 singers who perform sacred a cappella music with a particular focus on 16th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup> century \u00a0choral works and on contemporary compositions. \u00a0Some of the \u00a0highlights of Figuralchor <\/em>concerts have been Liszt’s “Christus” and Bach’s Passions and the B minor Mass, each performed in unusual venues. Several contemporary composers – including Enjott Schneider, Hans Martin Lonquich, Klaus Wallrath, Pawel Lukaszewski and Rihards Dubra,- have written compositions for the figuralchor k\u00f6ln<\/em>, which the choir has premiered. The main themes are Easter music and Advent music. The choir has recorded more than 10 CDs. The most recent CD was a recording of Pawel Lukaszewski’s Easter oratorio “Resurrectio”, released by the Polish edition musica sacra in November 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
