The Siparantum Choir from Kosovo to Perform on Berlin’s Most Prestigious Stages

On April 26, 2025, at 20:00, the Siparantum Choir will perform at the “Around the World” concert, held at the renowned Matthäuskirche in Berlin, as part of the prestigious Choralspace Festival. The choir will share the stage with choral ensembles from Greece, Spain, and Lithuania, including:

  • Polychromon (Greece)
  • B-Tenors (Spain)
  • ARTyn (Lithuania)

Siparantum will present a curated repertoire featuring works by internationally acclaimed composers, including the world premiere of “Hear My Prayer, O Lord” by Christian Bährens, a composer with whom the choir has built a long-standing and fruitful artistic collaboration.
The choir will be joined by soloists Rizah Jahaj, Leon Shehu, Erijon Palucaj, Diar Meholli, and Kaltrina Miftari, accompanied on piano by Agron Shujaku and Denita Dedushaj.


On April 27, 2025, at 11:00, the Siparantum Choir will perform for the fifth time at the iconic Berlin Philharmonie—one of the world’s most celebrated concert halls—marking another historic milestone in its international journey. This concert represents the pinnacle of Siparantum’s participation in the Choralspace – Walking in Beauty festival, featuring a special collaboration with world-renowned composer and pianist Ola Gjeilo.

The performance will begin with a joint concert of all participating choirs. During this segment, Siparantum will premiere “Zanat e Malit”—a new composition by acclaimed Kosovar composer Kreshnik Aliçkaj, written for girls’ choir, violin, piano, and percussion.
The performance will include contributions from celebrated violinist Sihana Badivuku, pianist Agron Shujaku, and percussionist Aurora Hyseni.

In the second part of the concert, the choir will join 500 singers from around the world and a professional orchestra to perform some of Ola Gjeilo’s most celebrated works:
The Spheres, Tundra, Ecce Novum, Ave Generosa, Across the Vast Eternal Sky, The Rose, Ubi Caritas, and The Ground—all accompanied by Gjeilo himself on piano.
A highlight of the evening will be the invitation extended to conductor Memli Kelmendi to lead the performance of “The Rose”—a rare and prestigious honor, in recognition of his exceptional artistic leadership and the high artistic standards demonstrated by the Siparantum Choir on the international stage.

This upcoming performance at the Berlin Philharmonie will mark the fifth appearance of the Siparantum Choir at this legendary venue. Over the years, the choir has collaborated with some of the world’s most esteemed choral figures, including Simon Carrington, Mihály Zeke, and Ēriks Ešenvalds.

During the festival, Siparantum’s choristers will also participate in intensive workshops and collaborative sessions led by Ola Gjeilo, providing a valuable opportunity for artistic growth and international exchange.

This journey stands as a powerful testament to the role of the Siparantum Choir as a cultural ambassador of Albanian musical heritage and a shining example of cultural diplomacy in action.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all supporters and partners who have made this dignified and meaningful representation of our art and culture in the heart of Europe possible.
