Today's St. Matthew's Church was consecrated on November 27, 1955. The Bach cantata "Gott der Herr ist Sonne und Schild" was performed on the evening of the inauguration. 70 years later, this cantata can be heard again in St. Matthew's Church, performed by the Munich Motet Choir, soloists and the Munich Residence Orchestra under the direction of Benedikt Haag. The Munich Residence Orchestra will also play the First Brandenburg Concerto and organ works by Bach will be performed by Landeskirchenmusikdirektor Ulrich Knörr, Armin Becker and Martin Wiedenhofer on the Steinmeyer/Woehl organ.
