Workshop: "Church Music After the Second Vatican Council"

Under the title “Between the Rhine, the Ruhr, and the Tiber. Catholic Church Music in the Bonn Republic: The Case of Gustav Biener (1926–2003),” Benjamin Sutorius (Arnsberg) and Johannes Wedeking (Haan) presented a prototypical example of a church musician and his work between 1949 and 1989.

Prof. Dr. Evelyn Buyken then gave a keynote address outlining ways in which this era of church music could be explored and researched from both artistic and scholarly perspectives.

Inspired by both presentations, a lively discussion ensued among the participants.
