A 36-strong German male voice choir is set to perform in Maldon as part of a UK tour.
Ars Musica, from Thuringia in central Germany, will take to the stage at St Mary’s Church in Maldon on Saturday, July 5, at 7.30pm during the Maldon Festival.
James Burrell-Cook, chairman of the festival’s board of trustees, said: "It is a real treat for the Maldon Festival to welcome the choir all the way from Germany, where it has been shaped and perfected over half a century.
"Ars Musica is sure to dazzle and delight the audience with its powerful and beautifully crafted sound."
The concert is supported by the British Embassy in Berlin.
Mr Burrell-Cook said: "Having the backing of His Majesty’s Ambassador to Germany, His Excellency Andrew Mitchell, adds to the prestige of a performance we are privileged to host."
