Beautifully Creepy in Augsburg: When the Fugger City Begins to Whisper Musically

On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the Leopold Mozart House in Augsburg will transform into a sound space between historical narrative, dark romance, and eerily beautiful songs. The concert SCHÖNSCHAURIG – The Dark Side of the Fugger City combines stories from Augsburg with intense vocal music by Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert.

Stories from the Dark Side of Augsburg

Musicologist and Augsburg expert Susanne Wosnitzka guides through beautifully creepy episodes from the Fugger city. Between historical locations, mysterious events, and musical depths, an evening is created that does not dryly explain city history but makes it atmospherically audible.

Songs Full of Shadows, Pain, and Dark Poetry

Vanessa Fasoli takes on the mezzo-soprano role, Manuel Ried sings as tenor. Together with Stephanie Knauer on the hammer piano, they unfold a program between dramatic song art and dark sound poetry. The program includes Schubert's Der Erlkönig, the Leiermann, the quirky Der Floh, and Gretchen am Spinnrade.

The musical dramaturgy lives from strong contrasts: driving rhythms, nervous piano figures, dark registers, and suddenly emerging melodic arcs. The historical hammer piano brings a special sound color to the concert hall. Its differentiated sound lets every nuance of the song interpretation stand out and gives the stage performance an intimate, almost chamber music-like intensity.

A Concert Experience between Literature and Music History

SCHÖNSCHAURIG focuses on the close connection between language, narrative, and music. The works of Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert show how composers of the classical and romantic song repertoire translate fear, mockery, despair, and longing into musical movement. Voice, text, and hammer piano interlock like scenes of a musical horror novel.

In the Leopold Mozart House, this repertoire meets a historically shaped venue on Frauentorstraße. The small baroque theater of the house offers a concentrated live atmosphere and immediate audience closeness. Every breath, every articulation, and every rhythmic intensification receives space.

Conclusion: Experience Augsburg Differently

This concert opens an unusual view of the Fugger city: historically informed, musically demanding, and sensually staged. Those who want to connect song art, city history, and a touch of delightful goosebumps will experience a special evening at the Leopold Mozart House on October 28.
