Summit Meeting: Two Vocal Ensembles Make Augsburg Sing
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the Barfüßerkirche Augsburg will transform into a space for exquisite a cappella choral music. At the concert Summit Meeting, Ensemble12 led by Prof. Alfons Brandl will meet the Nürnberger Klangrausch Vocal Ensemble under Kilian Stein.
Powerful Encounters in Sacred Atmosphere
The program combines works by Johannes Brahms, Benjamin Britten, Wolfram Buchenberg, Jennefeldt, Hubert Parry, and Heinrich Schütz. Between historical vocal music and modern choral literature, a varied tension arc arises, living from clear intonation, precise synchronization, and finely graduated dynamics.
Ensemble12: Great Choral Music in a Small Setup
Founded in 2016, Ensemble12 unites singers from across Bavaria, including vocal students from the Nürnberg University of Music. Under the direction of Prof. Alfons Brandl, the vocal group dedicates itself to sophisticated choral music in a small ensemble. Professional reviews have already praised the tonal purity, homogeneous sound culture, and nuanced stage performance of the ensemble.
Klangrausch from Nürnberg
The Klangrausch Vocal Ensemble is an ambitious chamber choir from Nürnberg led by Kilian Stein. The group stands for committed a cappella work and a vibrant choral scene in the metropolitan region. In collaboration with Ensemble12, a musical dialogue arises between two independent sound bodies.
A Concert Between Tradition and Present
The selection ranges from the intricate polyphony of Heinrich Schütz to later sound languages of Britten and Buchenberg. In the acoustics of the Barfüßerkirche, the voices unfold without instrumental accompaniment particularly immediately: lines emerge, chords layer upon one another, and soft passages can create an intense, almost floating effect.
Conclusion: Experience A-cappella Music Live
The Summit Meeting promises a concentrated concert experience with two prominent vocal ensembles, demanding choral literature, and impressive church acoustics. Admission is free, donations are appreciated. Those wishing to experience the emotional power of polyphonic voices and the precision of modern choral work should not miss this concert evening in Augsburg.
