As part of the Bachfest Munich, two very atmospheric works will be performed to commemorate the end of World War II 80 years ago, which can be experienced at first hand throughout the cathedral thanks to state-of-the-art sound technology.
J. S. Bach used Johann Franck's hymn of the same name as the text for "Jesu Meine Freude", interspersed with texts from the Epistle to the Romans.
The "Requiem for the victims of Nazi persecution" was composed in 2002 by the Norwegian composer Ståle Kleiberg to commemorate all the millions of people who were murdered during the Nazi regime solely because of their faith, ethnic origin or sexual orientation – as a reaction and protest against this inconceivable contempt for human life, which unfortunately continues to be experienced in our present day.

The cathedral "Zu Unserer Lieben Frau" in Munich is a metropolitan church assigned to the Archbishop of Munich and Freising as metropolitan of the southern Bavarian ecclesiastical province. Among the dioceses of Augsburg, Regensburg and Passau, it is the first cathedral in terms of rank. The Frauenkirche is also the parish church for the second oldest parish in Munich. The services of the Domkapellmeister, the Domorganist and the Domzeremoniar are set up to organise the cathedral liturgy.
