This is a premiere at chor.com 2026: the German translation (by Florian Benfer) of Matthew Peterson’s “Sanctuary Mass” will be the focus of this reading session with singers of the Gustaf Sjökvists Kammarkör. Matthew Peterson is one of Sweden’s most prominent composers of orchestral, chamber, and choral music. Deeply connected to Swedish nature and choral tradition, Peterson creates music that resonates with both singers and audiences. His “Sanctuary Mass” (Swedish title “Högalidsmässan”) was awarded one of Sweden's most prestigious prizes for art music in 2024, praised for its rhythmical variation and “luminous musical language”. Florian Benfer will lead a reading session together with singers from Gustaf Sjökvists Kammarkör.
