Nikolaus Fluck, Baritone (1990*) Nikolaus Fluck, born in Frankfurt am Main in 1990, was a member of the Limburger Domsingknaben (Limburg Cathedral Boys Choir) with which he first gained musical experience singing concerts in Germany and abroad. Adding to this experience was also his role as the Third Spirit in Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the Oper Köln. Following his time as a choirboy, he studied music education and classical trumpet at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart. He then went on to study vocal performance under Carmen Mammoser and Bernhard Jaeger-Böhm, Lieder under Cornelis Witthoefft in Stuttgart and to receive a master’s degree under Yves Sotin at the Conservatoire de Paris. Nikolaus Fluck took part in masterclasses with Peter Kooij, Margreet Honig, Emma Kirkby, Robert Holl and Peter Harvey. He has also been greatly influenced by Stephan Genz, Anne Le Bozec and Susan Manoff during his time in Paris. Currently, he is under the tutelage of Charlotte Lehmann. The young baritone can be heard in Germany and abroad as a recitalist and concert singer in, for example, Händel’s Messiah and Judas Maccabaeus, the requiem settings by Brahms, Fauré and Duruflé, Rossini’s Petite Messe solennelle, Haydn’s Die Schöpfung (The Creation), Mendelssohn’s Elias (Elijah) and above all in Johann Sebastian Bach’s major works and cantatas. In conjunction with a masterclass given by Dietrich Henschel, Nikolaus Fluck performed as part of Philippe Herreweghe’s festival program academia delle crete senesi in Asciano. This was followed by several performances at festivals in Portugal and France in the summer of 2018 where he sang the solo baritone in C.P.E. Bach’s oratorio Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu with Arsys Bourgogne (Mihaly Zeke) and the Ensemble Pulcinella (Ophélie Gaillard). Nikolaus Fluck will participate at the renowned International Bach Competition Leipzig in July 2021. .

A Catholic Architect Abroad: the Architectural Excursions of A.M
A CATHOLIC ARCHITECT ABROAD: THE ARCHITECTURAL EXCURSIONS OF A.M. DUNN Michael Johnson Introduction A leading architect of the Catholic Revival, Archibald Matthias Dunn (1832- 1917) designed churches, colleges and schools throughout the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. Working independently or with various partners, notably Edward Joseph Hansom (1842-1900), Dunn was principally responsible for rebuilding the infrastructure of Catholic worship and education in North- East England in the decades following emancipation. Throughout his career, Dunn’s work was informed by first-hand study of architecture in Britain and abroad. From his first year in practice, Dunn was an indefatigable traveller, venturing across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, filling mind and sketchbook with inspiration for his own designs. In doing so, he followed in the footsteps of Catholic travellers who had taken the Grand Tour, a tradition which has been admirably examined in Anne French’s Art Treasures in the North: Northern Families on the Grand Tour (2009).1 While this cultural pilgrimage was primarily associated with the landed gentry of the eighteen century, Dunn’s travels demonstrate that the forces of industrialisation and colonial expansion opened the world to the professional middle classes in the nineteenth century.2 This article examines Dunn’s architectural excursions, aiming to place them within the wider context of travel and transculturation in Victorian visual culture. Reconstructing his journeys from surviving documentary sources, it seeks to illuminate the processes by which foreign forms came to influence architectural taste during the ‘High Victorian’ phase of the Gothic Revival. Analysing Dunn’s major publication, Notes and Sketches of an Architect (1886), it uses contemporaneous reviews in the building press to determine how this illustrated record of three decades of international travel was received by the architectural establishment.

Amrhein was the founder of the Benedictine Mission Society, based at St Ottilien near Munich, where the youngsters were being educated. He was a proponent of Catholic involvement in the German colonial project and the fledgling mission had already sent its first missionaries to German East Africa the previous year. During the Assembly Mbange and Dagwe were photographed alongside Ludwig Windthorst, the prominent politician and leader of the Catholic Centre Party, who, according to reports, was to take on the role of their godfather.iii Following the establishment of an overseas empire in 1884 he became increasingly vocal in calling for Catholics to be granted permission to missionize in the new German territories.

ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS: ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Pope Francis | 116 pages | 24 Jun 2015 | Catholic Truth Society | 9781784690700 | English | London, United Kingdom Encyclical Letter Laudato Si of the Holy Father Francis: On Care for Our Common Home PDF Book Now, faced as we are with global environmental deterioration, I wish to address every person living on this planet. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. We should not think that political efforts or the force of law will be sufficient to prevent actions which affect the environment because, when the culture itself is corrupt and objective truth and universally valid principles are no longer upheld, then laws can only be seen as arbitrary impositions or obstacles to be avoided. People take sick, for example, from breathing high levels of smoke from fuels used in cooking or heating. Celebrate Laudato Si' with us. Season of Creation. This is the way human beings contrive to feed their self-destructive vices: trying not to see them, trying not to acknowledge them, delaying the important decisions and pretending that nothing will happen. Age of Anger. Lev In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. Environmental Responsibility Resources. Federico Lombardi , the Holy See Press Office director, said that the document was in its very early stages, that no publication date had been set, and that the encyclical would be about ecology and specifically the "ecology of man".

Laudato Si.Org
Laudato si' Laudato si' (English: Praise Be to You!) is the second encyclical of Pope Francis. The encyclical has the subtitle "on care for our Laudato si' common home".[1] In it, the pope critiques consumerism and Central Italian for 'Praise Be to irresponsible development, laments environmental degradation and You!' global warming, and calls all people of the world to take "swift and Encyclical letter of Pope unified global action."[2] Francis The encyclical, dated 24 May 2015, was officially published at noon on 18 June 2015, accompanied by a news conference.[2] The Vatican released the document in Italian, German, English, Spanish, French, Polish, Portuguese and Arabic, alongside the original Latin.[3] The encyclical is the second published by Francis, after Lumen fidei Date 24 May 2015 ("The Light of Faith"), which was released in 2013. Since Lumen Subject On care for our common fidei was largely the work of Francis's predecessor Benedict XVI, home Laudato si' is generally viewed as the first encyclical that is entirely the work of Francis.[4][5] Pages 184 Number 2 of 2 of the pontificate Text In Latin (http://w2.vatican.
