Reigen: Modern Sound Worlds in the Brecht House Augsburg

On November 15, 2026, the Brecht House Augsburg transforms into an intimate concert venue for contemporary music. Under the title Reigen, the Allgäu soprano Monika Staszak and the Augsburg guitarist Stefan Barcsay present modern works by the composer Johannes X. Schachtner.

Between Voice, Strings, and Concentrated Silence

The dramaturgy of the evening unfolds from the dialogue of two very different timbres: the human voice and the precisely articulated guitar. Singing and instrument face each other, merging into chamber musical moments and opening a multi-layered space for contemporary stage and concert art.

Johannes X. Schachtner at the Center

The entire concert evening is dedicated to the composer Johannes X. Schachtner. The program features works for solo guitar, solo soprano, as well as compositions for guitar and soprano in duo. This creates a musical circle that alternates between solo concentration and dialogical tension.

World Premiere as Highlight

Particular attention is paid to the world premiere of Versetto 2 for guitar. Stefan Barcsay presents the new work as the solo highlight of the evening. The concert dramaturgy thereby connects familiar forms of chamber music listening with the immediate experience of a first encounter.

A Stage Experience in the Brecht House

The Brecht House creates a special theater atmosphere with its historic spaces. Between literary history, memory culture, and concentrated acoustics, a framework emerges in which every nuance of acting and musicality becomes audible. The audience can expect a finely tuned stage experience with clear direction of the musical flows, compelling interpretation, and a thrilling interplay of light and space.

Conclusion

Reigen promises an extraordinary concert evening between contemporary composition, soprano, and classical guitar. Those who want to experience modern music in a personal atmosphere and not miss the world premiere of Versetto 2 will find an impressive location for this special stage experience in the Brecht House Augsburg.
