Oberwiesenthal
The Mass, composed in 1796, retains the structural features of a traditional Latin Mass, but the focus is on the Bohemian character of Christmas and its interpretation, and Ryba deliberately set it in a Bohemian (i.e. Czech) setting. Jakub Jan Ryba was convinced that only in this way could a liturgical Mass find access to listeners. Over time, the Mass has become the most popular Mass in Bohemia. (Source: Wikipedia)
Imagine a room bathed in the warm glow of hundreds of candles. One voice. A piano. A guitar. Moving ballads, romantic film music and melodies that get under your skin – honest, atmospheric and very close. I bring the music of artists such as Elton John, Udo Jürgens and Ed Sheeran to the stage, as well as my own compositions and personal stories – atmospheric, approachable and full of feeling. “Lichterklang” is more than a concert: it is an evening to sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy. A special experience in a unique atmosphere. I look forward to seeing you. Yours, Martin Schmitt
