Choral Sound under the Imperial Cathedral: Encounter Concert IV in Bamberg
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the Imperial Cathedral Bamberg will open its doors for a special encounter concert as part of the national girls' choir festival Under God's Cloak of Stars. At 14:00, two renowned ensembles will meet: the girls' choir at the Limburg Cathedral and the girls' choir at the Cathedral of Münster.

A Sound Space with Great Impact
The Imperial Cathedral is one of the most prominent musical venues in the city of Bamberg. Especially for choral music, the sacred space unleashes its full power: long reverberation times, a spacious church area, and the special tension between liturgical architecture and vibrant live atmosphere create a concert experience that closely intertwines voice, acoustics, and emotion. The festival motto Under God's Cloak of Stars sets a solemn, almost floating framework for this.

Encounter instead of Competition
The format thrives on the idea of togetherness. Here, the focus is not on competition, but on the musical encounter of two youth choirs, making different tonal colors, common breath control, and precise synchronization audible. For the audience, this results in a direct, intense concert experience with fine dynamics and emotional closeness. The festival in Bamberg brings together up to 50 girls' choirs and equal-voiced youth choirs with up to 1,200 singers from September 18 to 20, 2026.
