St. Michael's Name Festival: Sacred Music on the Michaelsberg
On October 3, 2026, a concert will resonate in the church of St. Michael in Bamberg, musically retracing the history of the Michaelsberg. For the Name Festival, Gregorian chants, Renaissance motets, and works up to the 18th century combine to create a broad program.
A Musical Journey Through Monastic History
The choir of Musica Canterey Bamberg guides through various epochs of sacred music. The selection ranges from the monophonic lines of Gregorian chant to the intricate polyphony of the Renaissance and the tonal forms of the 18th century.
Baritone and Chamber Organ in the Historic Church Space
Konstantin Paganetti takes on the baritone part, accompanied by Winfried Bönig on the chamber organ. The musical direction is in the hands of Winfried Bönig and Norbert Köhler. In the historical church space of St. Michael, clear vocal voices, sacred acoustics, and the characteristic timbre of the chamber organ come together.
Concert Experience with a Unique Atmosphere
The architecture of the Michaelsberg gives the chorales and motets room for resonance and depth. Each voice integrates into a finely tuned orchestration, while conducting and choral sound span the bridge from monastic tradition to the music of the 18th century.
Conclusion: Experience Sacred Music Live
St. Michael's Name Festival promises a focused concert experience between music history, sacred sound effects, and atmospheric live ambiance. Those who wish to discover the Michaelsberg musically will experience an evening with choir, baritone, and chamber organ in a special setting on October 3.
