Brass n´Harp: When trombone and harp meet in Sachrang
The Music Forum Sachrang invites you to a special chamber concert in the Catholic parish church of St. Michael on October 24, 2026. Johanna Schellenberger on harp and Kris Garfitt on trombone combine two sonically contrasting instruments for an extraordinary concert experience. Admission is free.
A dialogue between delicate timbre and powerful brass
The harp brings shimmering arpeggios, fine resonances, and a multifaceted timbre into the church space. The trombone adds warm, sustaining lines, striking impulses, and an enormous dynamic range. In the unique acoustics of St. Michael, a musical dialogue emerges that ranges from quiet, transparent moments to radiant peaks.
Two internationally experienced musicians
Johanna Schellenberger is a widely active harpist internationally. She was the principal harpist of the Saxon State Orchestra in Dresden and has been the principal harpist of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande since 2024. As a soloist and chamber musician, she has worked with the Orchestre National de France, the Bamberg Symphony, and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, among others. Her repertoire ranges from classical orchestral literature to contemporary works and cross-genre projects.
Kris Garfitt is one of the prominent trombonists of his generation. The British musician won first prize, the audience award, and other accolades at the 2022 International Music Competition of the ARD. His playing combines technical precision with ease, lyricism, and rhythmic flexibility. Experiences with renowned orchestras and conductors shape his versatile stage performance.
Church space as a resonating body
The parish church of St. Michael gives the concert an immediate live atmosphere. Every breath, every note, and every movement of the trombone slide receives space for resonance. The orchestration of the program lives from the synchronization of two very different sound languages: sparkling harp figures meet the round sound of the trombone.
Free admission and a musical evening in Sachrang
The concert begins on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 18:00. The Music Forum Sachrang presents an extraordinary concert format that combines the intimacy of chamber music, high instrumental virtuosity, and the special atmosphere of a sacred space.
Those who want to experience the sonic meeting of harp and trombone live will find a charming concert evening in Sachrang with free admission. The immediate audience atmosphere and the special acoustics make this Brass-n´Harp concert an experience that cannot be replaced by recordings.
