Vocalconsort Leipzig brings sacred choral music to Karlsruhe-Grötzingen
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Evangelical Church Karlsruhe-Grötzingen will transform into an atmospheric concert hall for grand sacred choral music. As part of the Grötzinger Music Days, Vocalconsort Leipzig, under the direction of Franziska Kuba, presents a demanding program that balances sacred sound splendor, modern tonal language, and finely tuned a cappella orchestration.
Four works, a broad musical horizon
Benjamin Britten's Hymn to St. Cecilia opens a concert evening that impressively explores the sonic possibilities of a vocal ensemble. Between luminous choral passages, rhythmic precision, and colorful vocal lines, a sound image of great tension and inner movement is created.
Olivier Messiaen's O sacrum convivium leads into a concentrated, almost ethereal sound world. The finely placed harmonies and the intense spiritual atmosphere demand the highest synchronization within the ensemble, allowing each voice to emerge as part of a vibrant overall sound.
Choral sound with spatial depth
Frank Martin's Messe für zwei vierstimmige Chöre a cappella relies on the fascinating effect of divided voices. The dialogical structure creates musical spaces where sound lines meet, unfold, and then connect again into a powerful unity. Particularly in the church acoustics, this composition gains a special spatial depth.
With Alfred Schnittke's No. 1 of the three sacred songs, the program reaches a modern and emphatic intensity. Contrasts, dark timbres, and expressive lines merge into a stage performance that presents sacred music not as a museum repertoire but as an immediately experienceable concert moment.
Live atmosphere in the Evangelical Church
The Evangelical Church Karlsruhe-Grötzingen provides the perfect setting for this concert with Vocalconsort Leipzig. The reverberation of the church space allows voices to linger longer in the room, while soft passages become almost physically palpable. In the audience's mood, focused listening, sacred atmosphere, and the tension of a special live experience come together.
An evening for friends of demanding vocal music
The concert combines Renaissance-oriented sacred sound concepts, French modernity, large choral language, and the expressive music of the 20th century. The musical direction by Franziska Kuba promises a program characterized by clear articulation, precise conducting, and differentiated dynamics.
Those who appreciate sacred choral music, contemporary sound language, and intense a cappella interpretations will experience an evening of extraordinary musical density at the Grötzinger Music Days. Now mark the date and experience Vocalconsort Leipzig live in Karlsruhe-Grötzingen.
