Falcon Choirs concertize at Markuskirche, Chemnitz on April 6 at 7:30 pm

After a night in Rothenburg, the Falcon Choirs are visiting Chemnitz today! In the evening they get ready for the first formal highlight concert at St. Markuskirche at 7.30 pm during their 2010 Germany Incantato Performance Tour.
The protestant Markuskirche was built between 1893 and 1895 in the style of the North German brick gothic. The most remarkable part of the building is the tower with two spires, which is 84 meters (275 ft) high. You can see it from very far away! The colored glass windows are still in the original condition. The organ originates from organ builder Jehmlich from Dresden. The church has room for 900 visitors. In 1934/35 and 1991 the church was renovated and re-opened in its recent beauty in 2000. The picture is from the website of the church.
