Candlelight and Soul Sounds: Duo Orfeo at St. Wenzeslaus

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Litzendorf Candlelight Concerts, the baroque parish church of St. Wenzeslaus will be transformed on Friday, October 16, 2026, into a quiet resonance chamber for music, contemplation, and inner reflection. Under the title Meditation – Sounds for the Soul, Duo Orfeo will deliver a concert for harp and cello.

When Candlelight Makes the Church Space Resonate

The warm light of the candles envelops the baroque architecture and creates a unique live atmosphere. In the church designed by Johann Dientzenhofer between 1715 and 1718, spatial acoustics, light, and musical sensitivity combine to create an intense concert experience. The reduced lighting directs the gaze inward and allows even subtle sound colors to have an immediate impact.

Harp and Cello in Musical Dialogue

Laurence Forstner-Beaufils on harp and Karlheinz Busch on cello interpret touching works from Handel to Schubert as well as from Piazzolla to Pärt. The orchestration remains consciously transparent: plucked harp lines meet the warm, lyrical sound of the cello. From precise synchronization, a chamber musical dialogue emerges, full of calm, tension, and emotional depth.

From Baroque to Modern

The program spans several centuries of music history. Baroque sound language, romantic melody, and modern reduction encounter each other in a dramaturgy that opens up different forms of listening. Between resonance and silence, the works unfold their contemplative effect. Karlheinz Busch will also serve as the moderator and guide through the evening.
