Steinklang returns to Augsburg with archaic sound poetry
On Thursday, July 2, 2026, the Dominican Church in Augsburg will once again become a resonance space for one of the city's most distinctive concert series. Steinklang combines history, room acoustics, and live atmosphere to create a concentrated concert experience that relies on Gramorimba, stone harp, and stone gong to produce an extraordinary sound language. The series was developed by Wolfgang Lackerschmid for the special acoustics of the church and builds on a tradition that has grown in Augsburg for many years.

A space that becomes an instrument itself
The former Dominican Church St. Magdalena opens more than just its doors for this format: it carries the sound. The long reverberation of the historic interior gives depth, contour, and an almost sculptural presence to the stone instruments. Here lies the charm of Steinklang as a concert series, where acoustics and orchestration shape the character of the evening.

Wolfgang Lackerschmid and the idea of Steinklang
The Augsburg musician Wolfgang Lackerschmid is considered the defining voice behind the project. His compositions combine modern jazz, improvisation, and a keen sense of sound colors. On his official page, he describes Steinklang as a work that explores archaic sounds with stone instruments and has been brought to life in historically significant locations in Augsburg since 2009. The result is not an ordinary concert, but a precisely crafted auditory image between chamber music, percussion, and city history. ([steinklang.net](https://steinklang.net/?utm_source=openai))
This is how the evening unfolds
For the date on July 2, 2026, the start is scheduled for 4 PM. The program includes an approximately 30-minute tour of the Dominican Church, followed by a 45-minute concert by the Steinklang Percussion Ensemble. The total visit lasts about 75 minutes. According to the organizer, the maximum number of participants is 100; it is also pointed out that due to ongoing renovations, there may be short-term changes.

Why this concert resonates
Steinklang strikes a sustainable chord rather than a loud one.
