A Choir Evening Between Light, Darkness, and Great Sound Poetry

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, the City Church Durlach will become a resonance space for an extraordinary concert experience: In the series Art of Choral Music, the Young Chamber Choir Braunschweig will perform their program Lume. Under the direction of Steffen Kruse, touching vocal music meets a strong dramaturgical idea – inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Little Match Girl and David Lang's Little Girl Passion.

A Program with Narrative Power

The evening immerses you in a finely balanced combination of passion, narration, and modern choral art. The choir takes on shifting roles: narrating, commenting, comforting. It is this clever orchestration of voices that promises the tension for which demanding live choral music reaches its audience so directly. Works by Johannes Brahms, Johann Hermann Schein, Andrea Tarrodi, and Giuseppe Verdi expand the center of the program with stylistic contrasts and historical depth.

An Ensemble with Profile and Precision

Since its founding in 2013, the Young Chamber Choir Braunschweig has been one of the renowned chamber choirs in the Hannover-Braunschweig-Göttingen region. A 1st Prize at the German Choir Competition 2023 underscores the musical authority of the ensemble. The singers work project-based, with high stylistic diversity and audible concentration on sound, text, and emotional impact. From this arises the audience atmosphere that makes a choir evening in the City Church Durlach particularly special.

The City Church Durlach as a Sound Space

The City Church Durlach is known for its beautiful atmosphere and acoustic presence. The space carries transparent choral tones as well as dense harmonic arches, giving the works a special depth. For visitors, this means: an intense concert experience with direct proximity to the voice, fine dynamics, and the quiet transitions between comfort and dramaturgy.

Arrival, Atmosphere, and Practical Tips
