Dachau Choral Community presents Misatango: Premiere in Holy Cross

Holy Cross trembles: When sacred music dances tango – the Misatango in Dachau

An evening that electrifies both heart and mind: In the Church of Holy Cross, the Dachau choral community unfolds Martín Palmeri's Misa a Buenos Aires – short Misatango – bridging the gap between Latin Mass liturgy and the pulsating language of Tango Nuevo. Complemented by Fauré's luminous 'Cantique de Jean Racine' and Piazzolla's elegant 'Café 1930', an concert experience emerges that unites devotion, passion, and exquisite sound colors.

Live atmosphere: Sound colors between devotion and city lights

When the bandoneon and string ensemble of the BRSO merge with choir and piano, an orchestration full of shades emerges: warm mezzo-soprano timbre, breathing bandoneon tone, shimmering string line, precise conducting. The sacred space carries the sound, every phrasing breathes – the audience's mood shifts from rapt listening to enthusiastic sighs.

Expertise on stage: Misatango, Fauré, Piazzolla – dramatically intertwined

Palmeri's Misatango synchronizes Kyrie to Agnus Dei with tango rhythms: syncopated accents, rubato-infused lines, dance-like bass figures. Before that, Fauré's prayer opens the resonance space for inner calm, and afterward, Piazzolla's 'Café 1930' bridges to urban elegance – a program dramaturgy that makes contrasts glow and ideally illuminates the choir colors of the Dachau choral community.

Authority and history: Tango meets liturgy

Since 1996, the Misatango has delighted choirs worldwide – because it combines tradition and modernity. In Dachau, it resonates for the first time through the choral community, a concert choir with over 75 years of profile and current artistic direction by Michael Meyer. The combination of liturgical text, Nuevo-Tango impulse, and transparently led choir creates an unmistakable stage performance.

The participants: Profiles with character

Mezzo-soprano Theresa Holzhauser lends the solos noble radiance, Simon Japha (bandoneon, accordion) shapes the tango language with buoyant articulation, Alina Voiler at the piano grounds the rhythmic architecture, the string ensemble of the BRSO delineates fine nuances. Overall direction and flute: Michael Meyer – sound-serving, clear, impulsive.

Conclusion: An evening for goosebumps and inner peace

This concert connects spiritual depth with dance energy. Those who love sacred music and seek the tension of urban rhythms will experience an intense concert experience here. Secure your tickets now and feel the Misatango premiere in Dachau live!
