A Farewell with Sound: Augsburg Experiences a Benefit Concert Full of Emotions

In the Small Golden Hall in Augsburg, on July 12, 2026, great stage art meets a personal gesture: The benefit concert »Music Inspires« titled »Salute d'amour« is intended as a musical farewell to Frank Lippe and simultaneously opens a new concert series of the Philharmonic Society Augsburg e.V.

An Evening Between Tribute and Departure

At the end of the 2025/26 season, not only one name is in the spotlight, but a whole musical career. Frank Lippe shaped the Augsburg Philharmonic as the deputy solo bassist for over four decades and worked as an arranger with many ensembles in the city. This concert starts exactly there: Gratitude, memory, and a look ahead merge into a concert experience with a special closeness to the audience.

Great Variety of Sound in the Baroque Hall

The Small Golden Hall provides the perfect setting for classical music. Its outstanding acoustics, baroque ambiance, and permanent seating for 320 people create an intimate live atmosphere where orchestration, ensemble sound, and fine dynamics come to life intensely. This venue unfolds its full strength, especially for a benefit concert with a chamber music character.

Contributors Shaping Augsburg's Music Scene

On stage will be Domonkos Héja, Bruno Weil, Sophia Brommer, Avtandil Kaspeli, Young Kwon, KS Sally du Randt, Gerhard Siegel, Mimi Park, the Augsburg Trio, the Salon Orchestra Frank Lippe, the Dance Orchestra Frank Lippe, Violharmonics, and members of the Augsburg Philharmonic. This line-up promises stylistic diversity, precise conducting, and a lively stage performance with changing sound colors.

Beneficial Thought with Perspective

The new series »Music Inspires« collects funds for the acquisition of a grand piano for future chamber concerts of the Augsburg Philharmonic in the then freshly renovated building at Kennedy Square. This not only gives the afternoon emotional depth but also cultural-political relevance: Here, music promotion is taking shape concretely on site.

Anyone wishing to experience classical music in a special setting will find an appointment of radiance here: personal, festive, and close to Augsburg's music tradition. The benefit concert »Music Inspires« in the Small Golden Hall promises a moving Sunday afternoon full of sound, recognition, and anticipation of what is yet to come in Augsburg.
