Bach in the Hessing Church: An Evening Full of Concentration, Sound, and Inner Tension
In the Hessing Church St. Johannes in Augsburg-Göggingen, on September 13, 2026, the audience encounters one of the greatest masterpieces in music history: Johann Sebastian Bach's Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin in a compelling version for Baroque cello. Michail Uryvaev brings the cycle into a space that seems ideally suited for such music: sacred, concentrated, and full of resonance.
When a single voice becomes a whole universe
Bach's solo cycles are among the most demanding works in the repertoire. Polyphony, formal clarity, and emotional depth coalesce here into a concert experience that stands on its own without an orchestra and, for that reason, feels so immediate. In the Hessing Church, this music encounters an acoustic environment that supports every phrase and makes every movement of the bow audible.
Baroque cello instead of violin: an exciting perspective
The work cycle, which was completed in 1720 in Köthen, unfolds its own dramatic gravity even on the Baroque cello. The warm, expressive tone of the instrument reveals the architectural rigor of Bach’s compositional art while simultaneously introducing a human, almost intimate color. Exactly therein lies the special fascination of this evening: familiar music appears anew without losing its greatness.
A sacred space as a sound amplifier
The Hessing Church St. Johannes in Augsburg-Göggingen combines a historic ambiance with an atmosphere geared towards concentrated listening. The neo-Baroque church space, with its distinctive visual language, creates a fitting framework for a program that thrives on inner focus. The fact that the proceeds from the event benefit the restoration of the Steinmeyer organ from 1896 adds a further cultural dimension to the concert.
Musical intensity without distance
Those who attend this concert will not experience a grand show but rather a musical concentration with high radiance. Every line, every chord, and every rhythmic twist comes into focus. Thus, an evening emerges that showcases Bach not only as a canonical composer but also as a radical explorer of sound, form, and expression.
Conclusion: This concert promises a concentrated, deeply moving live experience in a special setting. Anyone wanting to hear Bach in all his power and clarity should not miss this evening in the Hessing Church.
