In the organizer's words:

It is with great pleasure that we welcome the wonderful Gürzenich Choir Cologne with its 45 choir members to our anniversary year.

As tenor of the King's Singers, Bob Chilcott has given us unforgettable concert experiences. The Observer calls the composer Bob Chilcott a 'contemporary hero of British choral music'. He is principal guest conductor of the BBC Singers, has conducted the choir at the Royal College of Music in London and currently conducts the Birmingham University Choir. In his oeuvre, which he has been developing as a full-time composer and conductor since 1997, he has created a wide range of choral compositions in particular. The Little Jazz Mass, composed in 2007 for St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, was followed in 2012 by the Nidaros Jazz Mass, which was premiered at Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. The short mass combines traditional mass forms with contemporary ones and features an inviting range of different jazz styles.
