Reger-Chor

The Reger -Chor is a project choir, which was founded in Wiesbaden in 1985 by Gabriel Dessauer and has been managed by him. Since 2001, he has expanded the Reger -Chor - International in collaboration with Ignace Michiels, organist of the Sint- Salvatorskathedraal from Bruges to perform an annual concert mostly spiritual, rarely performed music for choir and organ, both in Germany and in Belgium. Concerts are regularly held in St. Boniface, Wiesbaden and in the cathedral of Bruges, irregular in other churches of the two countries and the Concertgebouw ( Concert Hall ) Bruges.

History

Gabriel Dessauer ( born 1955) is at St. Boniface in Wiesbaden since 1981 Kantor. In 1985, he called singers together to perform a single work, the Hebbel - Requiem by Max Reger in the organ version of the Munich organist and composer Max Beckschäfer. The concert on October 16, 1985 was part of the International Organ Concerts Wiesbaden, the organists such as Roger Fisher, Judit Hajdók and Maurice Clerc presented at the Walcker organ in the Market Church in Wiesbaden, who had already played Reger himself during his time in Wiesbaden from 1891. Gabriel Dessauer conducted, Beckschäfer was the organist. The project is considered the foundation of the Reger -Chor.

It was named in 1988, when the next project of the German premiere of Joseph Jongens Missa op was 111 dedicated for choir, brass and organ, which was performed at the Abbey Church in Aschaffenburg and St. Boniface in Wiesbaden. Later projects included in 1990 one of the first performances in Germany of John Rutter's Requiem, recorded live on the first CD of the Reger -Chor.

2001 launched an international collaboration with organist Ignace Michiels, which brings together roughly equal numbers of choristers from Flanders and the Rhine -Main area in order to present an annual concert in Germany and Belgium.
