Autumn Concert at the Resurrection Church Bamberg

On November 7, 2026, the Collegium Musicum Bamberg invites you to a festive autumn concert at the Resurrection Church. Starting at 19:00, a diverse program unfolds that connects musical eras from the Baroque through Classical to early Romanticism. Admission is free.

Baroque Splendor and Italian Virtuosity

Handel's colorful Rinaldo Suite opens the concert evening with festive sound and distinct melodic lines. Following this, Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Violins in A Minor brings virtuosic dialogues and lively rhythmic energy to the church space. The two solo voices engage in a musical exchange of tension, response, and sonic synchronization.

Mozart between Bach and Handel

Mozart's Preludes and Fugues create a stylistic bridge to the great models of the Baroque. In the clear orchestration and contrapuntal structure, it becomes evident how attentively Mozart absorbed the art of Bach and Handel and transformed it into his own musical language.

Bach's Chorale and Mendelssohn's Youthful Energy

The instrumental chorale from Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata BWV 140 brings an atmosphere of calm and inner reflection into the Resurrection Church. The conclusion is Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's 7th String Symphony. The early work combines Baroque clarity of form with youthful agility and Romantic timbre.

A Chamber Orchestra with Bamberg Tradition

Founded in 1954, the Collegium Musicum Bamberg is a semi-professional chamber orchestra that has shaped the cultural life of Bamberg and the region for decades. The artistic direction is led by Harald Strauss-Orlovsky, the former second concertmaster of the Bamberg Symphony. His experience in stage performance and conducting influences the precise design of the concert program.

Conclusion: Experience Classical Music with Free Admission

The autumn concert combines Handel's operatic sound, Vivaldi's double concerto, Mozart's contrapuntal finesse, Bach's spiritual depth, and Mendelssohn's string symphony into an impressive concert experience.
