Six Centuries of String Sounds in the Chapel of Christ the King
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, classical guitarist Norbert Neunzling invites you to a special solo concert in the Chapel of Christ the King in Augsburg-Hammerschmiede. Starting at 6:00 PM, his program will take you through the history of Italian music – from the beginnings of notated music to compositions that were created in 2026.
A Musical Journey Through Italy
The concert evening connects historical sound worlds with contemporary guitar music. Norbert Neunzling opens the evening on a Renaissance lute, focusing on early Italian compositions from the 16th century. The intimate instrumentation directs attention to each individual line, each ornament, and the delicate resonance of the plucked strings.
Historical Guitar Meets Modern Sound Language
As the concert continues, Neunzling switches to the historical guitar and interprets classical-romantic works with tonal precision and stylistic sensitivity. The different instruments make audible how playing techniques, orchestration, and musical expressions have evolved over centuries.
Extraordinary Acoustics in the Chapel
The Chapel of Christ the King, with its unique acoustics, creates a concentrated setting for the concert experience. Subtle nuances, resonant bass, and the synchronization of attack and decay characterize the live atmosphere. Between historical performance practices and modern stage performance, a diverse solo program emerges with a great closeness in sound.
Tradition and Present in Dialogue
Particularly captivating is the temporal span of the evening: music from the early 16th century stands alongside classical-romantic works and contemporary compositions. Thus, the concert becomes a sonorous chronicle of Italian guitar and lute music – carried by an artist who uses historical instruments as living voices of music history.
Conclusion: An Evening for Curious Music Lovers
Visitors can expect an intense concert experience with Renaissance sounds, historical guitar, classical-romantic repertoire, and new music. Anyone wishing to experience the delicate colors of plucked strings in exceptional room acoustics should not miss this concert evening in the Chapel of Christ the King.
