In the antiphon "O Radiant Dawn," which serves as the theme for this Chorage program, Scottish composer James MacMillan moves from the delicate touch of a ray of light to the rich spectrum of colors of the ever-awakening morning. In MacMillan's "A New Song," a setting of Psalm 96, the choral voices, singing a new day to the Lord, build upon a sustained pedal point, which arguably expresses the life-giving foundation of the earth, where the "primordial light" dwells (heard in Mahler's setting). Organist Stephan Pollhammer unfolds the splendor of daybreak with Reger's powerful Choral Fantasia on the Morning Star.

Chorage® #2 A Radiant Dawn

Pfarrkirche Salzburg-Itzling

An absolute highlight for Salzburg visitors and locals alike: On selected Tuesdays, the International Mozarteum Foundation invites you to a half-hour organ lunchtime concert in its Great Hall, which, with its exclusive ambience and excellent acoustics, is considered one of the most beautiful concert halls internationally. Since 2010, the magnificent hall has housed the magnificent Propter Homines organ, custom-built for it, which blends visually and acoustically with the surrounding space to create an artistic unity.
