Following successful collaborations with the University of Luxembourg on Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Orff's Carmina Burana, the Saarland University Choir is now inviting singers to take part in a new project centred on Mozart’s Requiem. The programme also features Introitus and Kyrie by Johann Christian Bach—the youngest and 'Catholic' son of J. S. Bach—as well as a motet by Mendelssohn that fits well with the theme of the evening. Concert performances are planned for the end of the semester.

The following text has been machine translated from the German and has undergone no postediting.
Rehearsals begin on 13 October at 6:30 p.m. in the university’s main recital room (Musiksaal) on the Saarbrücken campus (Building C5 1), under the direction of University Music Director Professor Helmut Freitag. Experienced singers are warmly invited to join and are asked to attend a short audition before either of the first two rehearsals, starting at 6 p.m.
