Choral Encounter with Goosebumps Moments in the Upper Parish
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the Upper Parish in Bamberg will become the sonorous meeting point of the national girls' choir festival Under God's Cloak of Stars. During Encounter Concert I, the choir Vox coelestis from Munich and the girls' choir St. Georg from Bensheim will meet – a morning that combines sacred acoustics, youthful sound culture, and a vibrant festival atmosphere.
A Festival that Brings Voices into the Light
The national girls' choir festival brings numerous ensembles to Bamberg this weekend. The encounter concerts represent what makes choral music meaningful: precise intonation, soft timbres, fine dynamics, and moments in which space and voices support each other. In the Gothic church of Our Lady, this sound unfolds particularly impressively.
Vox coelestis and Girls’ Choir St. Georg: Two Sound Worlds, One Common Breath
Vox coelestis is known as a choir focused on sonorous, celebratory choral music; the girls' choir St. Georg brings the youthful freshness and transparency of an ambitious ensemble sound. Together, they create a concert experience that doesn't come across as loud, but convinces with tension, luminosity, and spiritual depth. Especially in a church like the Upper Parish, this orchestration of voices feels particularly immediate.
The Upper Parish as an Atmospheric Concert Location
The parish church of Our Lady is one of the most characterful churches in Bamberg and is considered step-free accessible, although only partially wheelchair-friendly. The location at Frauenplatz makes it particularly convenient to arrive on foot or by bus; parking spaces on-site are scarce. Those who arrive early can experience the journey through the old town as part of the concert moment – quiet, focused, and entirely directed towards music.
A Morning for Listeners Seeking True Live Moments
Encounter Concert I is aimed at all those who want to not just hear choral music but feel it in the space. The mix of festival character, spiritual environment, and two strong young ensembles creates an atmosphere that resonates long after. Admission is free, but the musical quality is top-notch and particularly impressive live.
Conclusion
Anyone wishing to experience a concentrated, touching, and at the same time festive choral encounter in Bamberg on September 19, 2026, should not miss this concert. The Upper Parish offers the ideal setting for a morning full of vocal finesse, resonance, and festival energy. Be there live and experience the magic of young choral voices in Bamberg.
