An evening full of sound, comfort, and baroque brilliance in Bayreuth
On June 13, 2026, spiritual poetry meets vibrant live atmosphere at the Stadtkirche Bayreuth: The Windsbacher Knabenchor and Spark – The classical band dedicate a special concert evening to Paul Gerhardt on the 350th anniversary of the poet's death. The program combines clear choral voices, instrumental virtuosity, and the emotional power of a repertoire that has moved generations.
When choral sound meets chamber music
The evening is alive with the tension between tradition and the present. The Windsbachers bring their precise, transparent choral sound, while Spark complements it with recorder-led colors, violin, cello, and piano, creating an elegant, energetic orchestration. This results in a concert experience with immediate presence rather than a museum-like retrospective.
Paul Gerhardt as a source of musical inspiration
Paul Gerhardt is one of the defining lyric poets of the 17th century. His verses connect faith, imagery of nature, and comfort in a language that remains accessible to this day. This program draws its strength from the encounter of text and tone, from a calm intensity that unfolds particularly compellingly in the acoustics of a church.
A church space that carries the evening
The Stadtkirche Heilig Dreifaltigkeit is located in the heart of Bayreuth and offers a atmospheric setting for sacred music. The space amplifies subtle dynamic gradations, makes the choral airflow audible, and provides Spark's instruments with a warm, contoured stage. Anyone who appreciates live music in a concentrated atmosphere will experience an evening of special closeness here.
Musical partnership with profile
The Windsbacher Knabenchor and Spark stand for the highest precision, stylistic security, and a strong stage performance. The concert evening promises interactions between vocal purity and instrumental agility, between contemplative calm and rhythmic tension. This mixture makes the program equally appealing to classical music enthusiasts and curious concert visitors.
Conclusion:
Go out my heart! in Bayreuth is an evening for all who want to experience sacred music, choral art, and sonorous chamber music in a sacred space. This homage to Paul Gerhardt combines depth with accessibility and invites you to experience the evening live in the Stadtkirche.
