Motets between Baroque and Modern: Evening Music at St. Nikolaus

On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the parish church of St. Nikolaus in Rosenheim will open its doors for an impressive evening music event with the Chamber Choir Rosenheim. Under the direction of Christopher Ryser, the program connects motets from several centuries in a musical dialogue about word, sound, and meaning.

From Early Baroque to Arvo Pärt

The program motetus spans from the early baroque motets of Andreas Hammerschmidt to works by the Bach family and Gottfried August Homilius. His music already hints at the sensitive style of Classicism. Three choral pieces by Arvo Pärt set a modern counterpoint and lead into a reduced, meditative sound language.

Word and Music in the Sacred Space

In the acoustics of St. Nikolaus, the polyphonic choral music unfolds its special effect. Interwoven lines, precise synchronization, and finely graded dynamics make the motets shine between filigree transparency and full sound richness. The conducting of Christopher Ryser guides the voices through changing sound colors and makes the development from baroque rhetoric to contemporary reduction directly experienceable.

An Evening for Concentrated Listening

The evening music combines concert and spiritual impulse. Hannelore Maurer accompanies the musical program with thoughts on the relationship between language and meaning. Thus, a concert experience emerges that does not rely on great external effects but on live atmosphere, spatial sound, and the emotional power of choral singing.

Conclusion: Choral Music as a Sound Journey through the Centuries

Visitors can look forward to a atmospheric concert evening with baroque motets, modern sacred music, and a distinctive stage performance in the Rosenheim parish church. Admission is free, and donations for the musical work are welcome. Those who want to experience the Chamber Choir Rosenheim in an acoustically impressive church space should enjoy this evening live.
