"A beautiful, a sad song. One which sounds as if ‘between the worlds’ – here, dream and reality, life and death touch each other. And it has a special melody, with the two expressive leaps, firstly to the fifth and then greater, to the octave! It is as if a mist lies over the song, and it seems to be cold, it sounds like November. At least these are my associations and in the arrangement they are discernible: twice it sighs (or is that a cold breath of wind?), before it begins to flow. Sometimes a dissonance even disturbs the flow of the song and its story, sometimes it rises up. Between the verses it sighs and breathes again. And finally, after it has posed the final question, it ends distantly, ?‘between the worlds’ … A sad, a beautiful song." (Ludwig Böhme)

Ludwig Böhme
| 1979Ludwig Böhme has been artistic director of the Windsbach Boys' Choir since 2022. Böhme spent his childhood in the St Thomas Boys' Choir in Leipzig and then studied choral conducting at the University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig. In 1999, he founded the Calmus Ensemble with other former members of the St Thomas Boys' Choir. For 23 years, he was the baritone and creative head of the Leipzig quintet, which developed into an internationally successful and award-winning vocal group under his leadership. From 2002 to 2022, Böhme directed the Josquin des Préz chamber choir, with which he won first prize at the German Choir Competition in 2018. Böhme was the artistic director and initiator of the concert series ‘Josquin – Das Projekt’, the world's first complete performance of Josquin's works, which began in Leipzig's St. Thomas Church in 2004 and celebrated its successful conclusion there in 2017. For ten years, Ludwig Böhme was the artistic director of the Leipzig Synagogue Choir, a multi-award-winning ensemble dedicated exclusively to synagogue and Yiddish music. With many projects – from the rediscovery of choral symphonic works to concepts of tolerance – he has contributed to making Jewish music more visible in the choral scene. This has resulted in a busy stage career: Böhme has been a guest at all the major German music festivals, has given concerts in numerous European countries, Israel, Central and South America, and has toured the USA and Canada more than 30 times. He has worked with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, the Basel Chamber Orchestra, the Wroclaw Baroque Orchestra, the Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla, the lautten compagney berlin, the Nuremberg State Philharmonic, the MDR Symphony Orchestra and the HR Big Band, among others. More than 30 CD productions, awarded with OPUS and ECHO Klassik as well as several CARA and Supersonic Awards, document his extensive work. Ludwig Böhme taught conducting at the music academies in Leipzig, Halle and Bayreuth, gives workshops and master classes, serves on juries and is active as a composer and arranger.
