Guitar sound between Baroque, Tango, and modern poetry

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, the Augsburg Guitar Orchestra El Polifemo invites you to a special concert at St. Anna Church in Augsburg. At 5 PM, a program unfolds there that makes classical guitar music audible in all its variety: from Bizet and Kurt Weill to Karl Jenkins and Arvo Pärt.

An evening with finely drawn sound

El Polifemo stands for an ensemble experience that does not rely on volume, but on precision, color, and musical tension. In the acoustics of St. Anna Church, the guitar lines gain definition while melodies, harmonies, and rhythmic impulses weave into a dense live experience.

Between passion and restraint

The program promises strong contrasts: The dramatic warmth of Bizet meets the angular elegance of Kurt Weill, while Palladio by Karl Jenkins provides brilliance with its driving pulse. Arvo Pärt's Summa brings that simple depth into play that touches the heart directly in a concert hall. Tango also finds its place, adding a touch of movement, fervor, and southern melancholy to the evening.

Church space as a resonance body

St. Anna in Augsburg offers the ideal framework for such a concert. The historic atmosphere of the church enhances the fine dynamic gradations of the guitar ensemble and makes every phrase transparent. It is here that a special audience atmosphere arises, making a classical concert unforgettable: concentrated, quiet, tense, and usually full of applause at the end.

A program with musical depth

El Polifemo demonstrates in this concert how versatile guitar orchestras can sound. The orchestration of the pieces reveals timbres that far exceed what one would expect from a purely string ensemble. Those seeking a connection of tradition, expression, and fine stage performance will experience a summer afternoon with real musical profile here.

Conclusion

This concert combines classical elegance, emotional intensity, and the special calm of a church space into an impressive live moment. Anyone wishing to experience guitar music in all its aesthetic range should not miss El Polifemo at St. Anna.
