Baroque Power in the Space: Biber's 'Missa Salisburgensis' Unfolds Cathedral Splendor

On October 30, 2026, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber's 'Missa Salisburgensis à 53 voci' transforms the High Cathedral of Augsburg into an overwhelming concert experience. Three top ensembles – the Baroque ensemble of the Bavarian State Orchestra, Les Cornets Noirs, and the Augsburg Cathedral Choir – create a monumental sound space that unites sacred architecture, orchestration, and choral magnificence in perfect synchronization.

Great Sound – Great History

The 'Missa Salisburgensis' is regarded as an icon of 'Colossal Baroque': designed polychorally, spatially conceived, with festive trumpets and a rich continuo base. Biber's score works with staggered choirs and antiphonal effects – ideal prerequisites for the acoustics of a Gothic cathedral, where voices and instruments merge in vibrant balance. The result: a live atmosphere that promises goosebumps.

Masters of Early Music on Stage

Les Cornets Noirs, one of the reference ensembles for the cornet since the 1990s, meets selected musicians from the Bavarian State Orchestra, whose Baroque ensemble regularly performs historical informed concerts. In addition, the Augsburg Cathedral Choir: the traditional cathedral choir (founded in its current form in 1976), under the direction of Domkapellmeister Stefan Steinemann since 2020. Together they create a stage performance that combines precision, richness of color, and sacred radiance.

Engage Your Senses – Cathedral On

As the first fanfares fill the vaults, the light lifts the altar area, and the acoustics carry every phrase to the side aisles. The sound architecture of the score draws arcs of light and air; the mood of the audience shifts from tense silence to euphoric resonance. This is the sound of a cathedral concert that is not only heard but physically experienced.
