With this programme, the Zurich Chamber Singers celebrate the highlight of their tenth anniversary – and at the same time a return to a familiar venue: After their acclaimed productions »O nata lux« and »Light of Paradise«, the ensemble returns to the Elbphilharmonie to complete its anniversary season there. The moving programme focuses on the human condition in all its facets. English songs from the 16th and 17th centuries form a common thread, posing questions about this world and the hereafter and creating a multi-layered picture of human existence. Contemporary works, including two world premieres, provide exciting points of reflection: They slow down time, linger and open up new perspectives.

Very diverse age range (10-80+), highly international mix of cultural tourists, architecture enthusiasts, and local Hamburg residents. Varies significantly by performance type.

No formal dress code, everything from suits to jeans and clean sneakers accepted; smart casual is common.
