An evening full of English elegance and Italian tones at St. Michaelis
On Sunday, June 21, 2026, the choir at St. Michaelis Braunschweig invites you to a summery choir concert in the Michaeliskirche. Under the title Between England and Italy, a program unfolds with works by Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and other composers. The concert starts at 5:00 PM at St. Michaelis Church at Echternstraße 67.
Music between Romanticism and Space
This concert experience thrives on contrasts: here the finely drawn German Romanticism, there the wide, breathing sound language of British choral music. The choir at St. Michaelis has been active since 1981 and has been led by Renate Laurien since 1994. This continuity shapes the warm, carried choral sound, which feels particularly close in the church's acoustics.
A space that carries voices
St. Michaelis is one of the defining churches of Braunschweig and offers a setting where choral music can unfold in its full depth. The clear spatial effect, the historical ambiance, and the concentrated atmosphere create ideal conditions for a concert that focuses on nuances. Those who attend live experience not just music, but the special tension between silence, breath, and shared sound.
Strong ensemble for a fine evening of sound
The ensemble includes not only the choir but also Julia Graepel on the flute, Margarita Bock on the piano, and Renate Laurien in leadership and piano. This lineup promises a colorful interplay of vocal precision and chamber music elegance. Works by Mendelssohn and Vaughan Williams especially unfold in this form an intense effect that oscillates between lyrical transparency and ceremonial grandeur.
Why attending is worthwhile
An evening like this brings the great tradition of spiritually and romantically shaped choral music directly into the present. Those who want to experience choral culture in its vibrant, emotional form will find a concert here with character, depth, and regional ties. The audience can look forward to a stylish summer afternoon with musical substance.
Conclusion: Between England and Italy is a concert for all who appreciate choral music with atmosphere, elegance, and expressiveness. Secure the date and experience this special evening live at St. Michaelis Braunschweig.
