An evening between mystery, baroque, and contemporaneity in the Goldsmith's Chapel
With Arcanum, a space for fine sound colors, historical depth, and contemporary tension opens in the Goldsmith's Chapel St. Anna Augsburg on July 11, 2026. Cellist Edgar Borsich and harpsichordist Michael Eberth present works by Count St. Germain, Dorothea Hofmann, Max Beckschäfer, and Wolfram Oettl in dialogue with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The concert begins at 19:00 in one of the most atmospheric places in the city.
Between alchemy and sound poetry
The title Arcanum refers to the mysterious, to hidden spaces, to music as discovery. This is exactly where the program begins: old forms meet new ideas, baroque lines meet modern gestures, the harpsichord meets the warm breath of the cello. Michael Eberth, a defining voice in early music for decades, brings historical performance practice, stylistic security, and clever orchestration in duo format. Edgar Borsich responds with cantabile presence and speaking tone.
A program with historical tension
The evening spans a wide arc from Bach to Count Saint Germain to compositions by Dorothea Hofmann, Max Beckschäfer, and Wolfram Oettl. Particularly appealing is the mixture of intellectual concentration and sonic surprise: Here the 18th century sounds not museum-like but alive. The Goldsmith's Chapel enhances this impression with its special acoustics, which favor fine dynamics, transparency, and an intimate audience atmosphere.
The space as a participant
St. Anna with the Goldsmith's Chapel is one of the places in Augsburg where architecture and music play closely together. The chapel was created as a burial place and has been carefully restored over the centuries. Today, it unfolds a concentrated concert character that is especially effective for chamber music. For visitors, this means: short distances, a historic environment, and a concert experience that creates closeness instead of distance.
Live atmosphere with fine chamber music dramaturgy
Those who attend this concert will not experience a loud gesture but a finely balanced stage performance. The synchronization between harpsichord and cello thrives on breathing, timing, and resonance. Especially in a sacred space like St. Anna, this creates a special live atmosphere: concentrated, clearly contoured, and emotionally charged. This makes Arcanum an evening for listeners who love musical details.
Conclusion: Arcanum promises an unusually stylistic concert evening between old and new music, carried by two experienced interpreters and a special space. Those who want to experience chamber music with depth, atmosphere, and artistic precision should not miss this concert live in Augsburg.
