An evening full of sound colors in the Michaels Church
On July 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM, musical finesse meets the warm intimacy of a church space in the Protestant Michaels Church in Brannenburg. The duo of recorder and harp spans a bridge from folk musical inspiration to the art music of Europe, creating a rare, colorful concert experience. Admission is free; a contribution for the musicians is requested.

Virtuosity with Soul
For over 20 years, Maria Dorner-Hofmann and Caroline Schmidt-Polex have been playing together and have honed their rare duo setting with precise synchronization and tonal elegance. Both studied at the University of Mozarteum and have since sought literature that highlights the fine possibilities of recorder and harp. It is precisely this that creates a concert here that does not need to be loud to resonate.

Europe in Miniature
The program includes Tarantella italiana, variations on an alpine melody, music from the Balkans, Ireland, and Denmark, as well as works by Ravel and Ibert. A highlight is the Carnaval de Venise by Pièrre-Agricole Genin, which transforms a well-known melody into elaborate variations. The mixture of folkloric energy, fine orchestration, and chamber music transparency promises a live atmosphere that allows every note to resonate.

A church space that carries sound
The Michaels Church at Kirchenstraße 10 in 83098 Brannenburg provides the perfect setting for this concert experience. The space has been part of community life as a Protestant church since 1964 and brings that quiet concentration which especially impressively carries soft instruments. The venue is centrally located in Brannenburg; the official notice from the municipality provides the address and refers to the church community as an information source.
