NoonSong

The Frankfurt composer Heinz Werner Zimmermann became known worldwide in the 1960s for his imaginative fusion of traditional church music compositional forms with the rhythms and harmonies of jazz. The music of the Hungarian composer Karai is similarly lively, cheerful and rhythmic, combining the complicated rhythms of Hungarian folk music with Gregorian elements.

NoonSong - what's that?  

Every Saturday at noon, locals, visitors to Berlin, music lovers and admirers of architecture alike attend NoonSong. It is a concert and a church service in equal measure.  Eight professional singers from the vocal ensemble sirventes berlin, led by Stefan Schuck, sing choir music. The repertoire ranges from music from the Renaissance to contemporary compositions.
