MonteverdiChor Munich: A-cappella sound full of confidence in Kolbermoor
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the MonteverdiChor Munich will perform at the parish church of Holy Trinity in Kolbermoor. Under the motto "Do not be afraid," the ensemble connects sacred choral music from several centuries for an evening concert between the Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, and Modernity.
When voices make the church space shine
The special live atmosphere arises from the immediate interplay of choir, space, and acoustics. In the parish church, the a-cappella music unfolds its spatial depth: individual voices stand out, merge into the overall sound, and create a finely tuned sound image between intimacy and festive expansiveness.
A program between Gabrieli, Schein, and Bach
At the center are works by Giovanni Gabrieli, Johann Hermann Schein, Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Johannes Brahms, and Arvo Pärt or Urmas Sisask. Highlights include Bach's double-choir motet "Do not be afraid," whose intricate contrapuntal structure radiates powerful confidence despite the spiritual theme.
Counterpoint, orchestration, and vocal precision
The concert demonstrates how strongly pure voices can impact without instrumental accompaniment. The musical tension arises from precise synchronization, differentiated dynamics, and the spatial layering of multi-choir passages. Brahms' "Fest- und Gedenksprüche" combines contrapuntal density with romantic expressiveness and sets a significant accent in the program.
An ensemble with a broad musical horizon
The MonteverdiChor Munich was founded in 1991 by Konrad von Abel. Its repertoire ranges from the Renaissance to music of the 20th and 21st centuries and includes sacred and secular a-cappella works as well as choral-symphonic literature. Repeated concert tours and guest performances have made the ensemble well-known far beyond Munich.
Conclusion: An evening concert for the power of collective sound
The audience can expect a concentrated choral concert with spiritual depth, musical precision, and an intense church acoustics. Admission is free, donations in favor of the MonteverdiChor Munich are welcome. Those who want to experience multi-voiced vocal music in its immediate and compelling form should not miss this evening live in Kolbermoor.
