Steinklang returns to the Dominican Church: A sound space filled with history and excitement
On June 25, 2026, Augsburg will once again open an extraordinary chapter between architecture, acoustics, and vibrant percussion art with the concert series Steinklang. In the Dominican Church, Gramorimba, stone harp, and stone gong meet a space that was originally made for this music. The series was conceived by Wolfgang Lackerschmid for the church's special acoustics and connects city history with an intense concert experience.

Archaic instruments, modern pulse
Steinklang thrives on a rare tension field: stony sounds, precise orchestration, and a live atmosphere that feels close, concentrated, and almost physical. The Steinklang Percussion Ensemble plays works by Wolfgang Lackerschmid, whose compositional language translates jazz, chamber music, and percussion ensemble into independent musical images. His work has been closely associated with the international jazz scene since the 1970s and has been documented on more than 200 recordings.

A space that reflects sound
The Dominican Church is one of Augsburg's most impressive cultural venues. For the Steinklang concept, it is more than just a backdrop: The sound space carries the floating overtones of the stone instruments, the reverberation reshapes every phrase, and the acoustics become a player. The return to the Dominican Church marks a special homecoming for the series, after it was heard in other locations during the renovation period.

Few seats, high intensity
The format deliberately remains compact: The Steinklang concerts last about 40 minutes, and a 30-minute tour of the church starts at 4 PM. The presale price for the combination ticket is 8 euros, while single concert tickets cost 5 euros on-site. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 100; due to ongoing renovations, last-minute changes are possible.

Why this concert stays with you
Steinklang is not a loud spectacle but a finely crafted concert experience with high density. Those who want to experience Augsburg musically in a different way will receive here sound colors, historical depth, and an unusual stage performance all in one. The charm comes from the connection of place, idea, and instrumentation.

Conclusion: On June 25, 2026, visitors to the Dominican Church can expect a concentrated, atmospheric live experience with unique percussion aesthetics and special spatial effects. Those who love special concert moments should experience Steinklang live in Augsburg.
