Anniversary Concert: Orff / Albrecht
Mit rund 90 Sängerinnen und Sängern gehört der Franz-Schubert-Chor Hamburg zu den größten und renommiertesten Konzertchören der Hansestadt. 2016 feiert er sein 70-jähriges Jubiläum und bringt zu diesem Anlass ein festliches Jubiläumsprogramm mit dem Titel »glücksfall« auf die Bühne.
Der Titel »glücksfall« spielt nicht nur auf die lange Geschichte des Chores an, die 1946 während der englischen Besatzung begann. Er ist auch eine Hommage an die Glücksgöttin Fortuna, die in Carl Orffs berühmtem Chorwerk »Carmina Burana« besungen wird. Mit diesem Werk verbindet den Franz-Schubert-Chor eine Tradition, denn seit 1951 brachte er die Carmina Burana mehrmals in der Laeiszhalle zur Aufführung.
Eingebettet in diesen mittelalterlichen Liederzyklus ist die Uraufführung des eigens zum Jubiläum komponierten Werkes »Leben: Eine Schubertiade« von Henrik Albrecht. Für das Auftragswerk hat der Komponist die völlig neue Musikform der Choroper entwickelt, die das Leben und Wirken des Chor-Namensgebers Franz Schubert musikalisch beleuchtet.
