Christmas singing for families
St. Matthäus
Every year at Christmas it is the young who so beautifully capture the spirit of the season when the Munich Motet Choir invites them to communal singing in the Matthäuskirche at Sendlinger Tor. The children are as enthusiastic about listening to the Christmas songs performed by the choir as they are about singing along.

St. Matthäus
The Munich Motet Choir would like you to join them in commemorating the most important day in the church year with deeply moving and highly evocative music.

M. Palmeri: Misa Tango
F. Martin: Messe pour double chœur
St. Matthäus
“Misa Tango” by Martín Palmeri combines Christian liturgy with the typical elements of nuevo tango, creating a unique tango style mass. This is contrasted with Frank Martin’s work “Messe pour double chœr”. It is the result of the composer’s deeply personal musical connection to God.
