Romantic songs as a musical moment of reflection

On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the Ev.-luth. Church of St. Marien in Braunschweig-Lamme invites you to a special concert for the Day of Mourning. "...and if it were not for love... - Songs of Romanticism for Life" combines moving song performance, piano music, and literary texts for an evening of memory, wounding, hope, and love.

Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Mahler in the church space

The focus is on Romantic songs from Franz Schubert through Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms to Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler. The works unfold their effect between lyrical intimacy, dramatic tension, and fine emotional transitions. The program is complemented by texts from Rainer Maria Rilke and other authors.

A voice between warmth and expression

The Braunschweig mezzo-soprano Dagmar Barth-Weingarten will shape the concert evening with an expressive stage performance. Her warm, versatile voice meets the precise piano accompaniment of Hisae Otsuka-Stroh. In the interplay of singing, articulation, and piano orchestration, a concentrated concert experience with great emotional depth emerges.

Music for remembrance and drawing strength

The quiet atmosphere of the Day of Mourning forms the thematic framework. The romantic tonal language directs the gaze to people and times that are no longer there, and to experiences that leave traces. Between the songs, the texts create additional spaces for reflection and personal memories.

In the acoustics of the church, timbres and linguistic nuances can unfold immediately. Quiet passages gain weight just like dramatic crescendos; the synchronization of voice and piano carries the musical tension throughout the entire program.

Free admission, collection at the exit

Admission to this concert is free. There will be an opportunity for a collection at the exit. The concert begins at 5:00 PM at St. Marien Lamme, Frankenstraße 28, 38116 Braunschweig.
