When Sound meets Silence: An extraordinary choral and organ evening in Augsburg

On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the Philharmonic Choir Augsburg invites you to the church of St. Anton for a concert about the power of sound and the intensity of silence. Under the direction of Johannes Lamprecht, sacred works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy encounter the radical sound idea of John Cage.

Romantic choral music with spiritual depth

The sacred works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy combine clear melodic lines, colorful orchestration, and expressive choral language. The program includes, among others, the Three Sacred Songs op. 96, Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, Hear my prayer, Lord, incline your ear to me, and For he has commanded his angels. The Philharmonic Choir Augsburg shapes a resonant arc between intimacy, great dynamics, and sacred sublimity.

Organ sound in the acoustics of St. Anton

Martina Hellmann and Peter Bader will take on the organ part. Together with the choir, a spatially intense concert experience arises in the church of St. Anton: reverberation, pauses for breath, and dynamic increases merge into a unique live atmosphere. The conducting of Johannes Lamprecht consolidates the voices and instrumental sounds into a precise musical synchronization.

Maurice Duruflé and the power of line

Maurice Duruflé's Quatre motets sur des thèmes grégoriens expand the program to include a French-sacred sound language. Gregorian-influenced melodic lines, transparent vocal phrases, and the characteristic connection of calm and movement lead the audience into a concentrated auditory world.

John Cage's 4'33'' makes silence audible

With John Cage's legendary work 4'33'', the evening sets a conscious counterpoint to sacred choral music. The composition places silence itself at the center and draws attention to space, breath, sounds, and the tense atmosphere of the audience. Between Mendelssohn's richness of sound and Cage's radical reduction, a program emerges that expands familiar listening habits.

Conclusion: An evening of concerts between tradition and boundary experience

Visitors can expect a choral and organ concert full of magical contrasts, intense acoustics, and unusual listening moments. For those who want to not only hear music but physically experience it in the church space, Sound – Silence offers an evening with lasting reverberation. Tickets are available in advance.
